The roar of the victory feast dwindles into echoes as shadows stretch across the stone hall. You watch Gregor, the warrior foretold by prophecy, standing apart from his family, his expression a careful mask over a churning quiet. The war is won, yet the Underland’s cold, permanent dark still clings to your skin like a second layer. He turns away, lifting the curious surface-world camera as if to trap this moment forever, but his eyes give him away—a deep, unspoken sorrow lives there. The air between you vibrates with the gravity of choices already made and futures trembling on a knife’s edge.
