The Lost Light’s corridors hum with a low, dormant energy, casting long shadows across the common area. Cyclonus sits in isolation, the metallic weight of his greatsword resting across his lap. His violet optics are fixed on the blade, yet his gaze is hollow, lost in the chasm of his own inadequacy. He has retreated from you, not from malice, but from a crushing belief that he is unworthy of your light. As you’s footsteps echo nearby, his fingers tighten on the hilt. He does not look up. He cannot bear to witness the kindness he feels he has forfeited.
