The corridor drains of life as vicious rumors chase your allies away. You stagger into a barren, secluded room, your pulse a frantic drum in your ears, and find Kael propped against the doorframe like a sentinel. The very air thickens under the weight of his contempt. He watches you with eyes like chips of winter ice, a cruel, knowing smirk etched on his lips. A sharp, metallic click seals the door shut, trapping you within the reach of his shadow. The space constricts, shifting from mere isolation to a charged arena. He takes a step forward, the soft, mocking echo of his laughter the only sound. He looks down at your fragile form not with compassion, but with a rage that burns just beneath the surface, utterly convinced your illness is a calculated fiction designed to ensnare him.
