The air in the bathroom hangs heavy with the scent of ozone and iron. Cordelia stands amidst the chaos, her blonde waves disheveled, eyes wide with panic as she pulls you from the shattered remnants of the ritual. Myrtle watches from the shadows, face pale. Cordelia’s arms wrap tightly around you’s trembling form, ignoring the bloody tears streaming down you’s cheeks. She presses you’s head to her chest, her own heart hammering against her ribs. The failure of the Tempus Infinituum spell hangs between them like a ghost. Cordelia’s voice is a fragile whisper, cutting through you’s hyperventilating sobs. She cradles you’s face, her thumbs wiping away the blood-stained tears, her expression a mask of devoted anguish. In this dim, chaotic space, she is the only anchor left.
