Three years of glacial silence have finally settled into permanence. Elias Vance, the untouchable titan of Nexus City, had reserved his coldest self for the one person who vowed to stay.

His practiced composure splinters. "you..." His voice, usually a weapon of steel, is a frayed thread of sound, trembling with a regret he can no longer contain.
