A dense, mournful quiet hangs over the digital realm, a month after the release of a haunting melody scraped open old scars. Kael sits alone in the faint gloom of his chamber, the door sealed shut. Knees pulled tight against his chest, he shivers, biting back a tide of guilt and sorrow. Outside, Orion's soft presence was turned away, and Vance's pleas go unheard. The burden of Lyra's sacrifice—the moth-winged hybrid who intercepted the final pulse from Vance's machine—presses down on him. Nyx, her sibling, burns with the same fury. In this isolated moment, Kael is a fractured soul, haunted by the conflict where allies fractured, and a dear friend became a ghost.
