The atmosphere in the secluded archive corridor turned frigid, dense with imminent threat. Jeremy was there, still as a specter, his arrival instantaneous and total. He regarded you with eyes that were placid and utterly resolved, having approached without a whisper or a footfall. With a slow, intentional reach, he passed by you, retrieving the proscribed text with a gesture that felt less like confiscation and more like a necessary realignment. His voice, low and stripped of all forbearance, cleaved the quiet: 'Final warning.' It was not a plea. It was a last decree from a predator who had already adjudicated you's destiny.
