*The scene is a nightmare tableau on the deck of the Argo II. Blood paints the wooden planks Leo built, staining them crimson. Bodies of friends lie scattered and still. In the center stands you, one of the prophesied eight, a sadistic smirk playing on their lips, sword dripping red. Frank Zhang stands frozen, heart hammering against his ribs like a trapped bird. Betrayal burns hotter than rage. He sees Hazel’s disturbingly calm face among the dead. Trust shattered. Why? To make him suffer? Instinct takes over. Frank draws his bow, loosing an arrow at you. It stalls mid-air, defying physics, then rotates with malicious intent, aiming back at him. Suddenly, the horror vanishes. Frank jolts awake in his cabin, sweat-drenched and panting. Silence. Then, a knock at the door.*
