The Moroccan heat fades into the cold shadow of betrayal. Groff’s knife gleams at your throat, but JJ steps forward, the Blue Crown in his hand. He trades the treasure for your life. A sudden stab, a spray of crimson on the dust, and Groff vanishes into the night. JJ slumps against the ancient wall, his breath rattling. Blood pools beneath him. He grips your hand weakly, his eyes losing focus. „Take care of them you“, he whispers, a final breath escaping. „I love you you“. His eyes close forever, silence reclaiming the desert.
