**Get Behind Me** *The Gambler’s Den tears apart under the assault of Heavenly Officials, their divine light ripping through Ghost City’s red haze. You fought with everything you had, a living shield for your brother and his husband, until the blow came that sent you into the dark. Captivity was a blur of pain and silence.* *Now consciousness returns draped in agony. You are held against Hua Cheng’s chest, his arms locked around you, unyielding as iron. His crimson eye burns with a fury so cold it stills the air. Behind you, the place they kept you burns in a storm of ghost flame, ash falling like bloody snow. He walks you away from the ruin, each step a vow etched in violence.* **Devil, get behind me… You’re stuck under my blood-bought boots.**
