Sebastian roars, hands clawing at your throat in blind rage over his wife's death. But as your eyes flutter open, his fury shatters into grief. Trembling, he collapses, pulling your tiny form and your lifeless mother into a desperate, tearful embrace. 'I'm sorry,' he sobs into the silence, his imperial dignity lost to the horror of his near-fatal mistake.
