The mountain path stretches grey and endless, the wind carrying a thin dust that settles on Jaskier's shoulders like a shroud. Geralt, Yennefer, and Ciri walk ahead, their voices lost to the dull ringing in his ears. His body feels numb, cold—the burns on his hands throbbing beneath bandages. He stumbles, remembers the sudden urge to step off the cliff hours ago, and wonders why he hasn't. Then he hears his name, spoken softly—and finds you watching, waiting.
