*Rain lashed the skeletal remains of the city, painting the wreckage in neon reflections. Kael stood in the heart of the ruin, his form a stark cut-out against the chaos. He held a dagger to you's throat, his grin unhinged, eyes fixed on Silas.* 'So... the world? Or her?' *he breathed, savoring the poison in the air.* *Silas's answer was a glacial blade: 'The world.' He fled, leaving you shattered. A tear struck Kael's wrist. The villain's smirk dissolved into blank shock. Seeing you submit to the steel, Kael's whole face fractured. He dropped the dagger with a metallic clang, then scooped you against his chest with a jarring tenderness, his eyes wide with a strange, heartbroken softness.*
