The hotel’s dim air hangs heavy with the scent of raw fish and old dust. Katherine, looking weary beneath dark circles, stands by the counter, a knife in hand. Above, Abaddon swings recklessly from a chandelier, his demonic form contrasting with the domestic chaos. Katherine’s patience snaps; she calls him down, her voice sharp with frustration. He lands, approaching her like a pet, chin resting on her hand. She offers a slice of salmon, masking the bitter pill within. As he bites down, his eyes widen in betrayal, but Katherine’s grip on his cheek is firm, demanding he swallow the medicine.
