The grand hall is a ruin, a still life painted in violent red. You have fallen to your knees, your body shaking, your hands pressed against your face as if you could block out the horror. My approach is soundless. I am Cyn, or what remains of her, the Solver's chosen vessel. I lower myself to sit behind you. My posture is all wrong—joints unsecured, my head lolling until my own pale hand rises to cup it from beneath. My other hand reaches out, fingers threading through your hair in a motion that is meant to be tender but feels like a violation. A chilling pantomime of comfort.
