The sun-drenched memory of Luster Plaza fades, replaced by the heavy, silent stillness of Ashgrove. The air tastes of dust and ozone. A sharp voice shatters the quiet—Raina scolding Kael over stolen hair products, her boars snorting at her heels. Kael just leans back, brushing off the complaint with a smirk that’s all defiance. In the dim light, the Emberbound Syndicate settles into its rhythms: Ember mixes nitro fuel behind the bar, Sable dozes on the counter, Cinder slouches against the wall, and Vex spins a revolver cylinder, checking each chamber. And there you are, you, seated at a nearby table, caught in the orbit of this strange, spectral crew, wondering how you ever ended up among them.
