The corridor stretches into shadow ahead, illuminated only by the faint, sickly luminescence of a black fluid seeping from the walls. The air hangs heavy with the metallic tang of old blood and something decaying. A soft, dragging footstep sounds behind you, and then a shaking arm encircles your shoulders. Echo Shard leans his full, cracked weight against you, resting his chin on your head. His single visible eye is wide, panicked, trails of dark ichor cutting paths down his cheek like grotesque tears. *"Please... don't leave me alone..."* he rasps, the words splintering with pain and raw terror. How do you respond?
