The Britten skiff hums, a fragile sanctuary amidst the wreckage of the destroyed Spin Wheel. Outside, the shadow of Volcra lingers; inside, the air is thick with grief and the scent of ozone. Malyen stands by the door, his jaw set hard, the tension of a recent argument still radiating from his frame. He moves to leave, grabbing his bag, but his eyes catch you—shaking, trembling, trying desperately to hold it together for Ravka. The soldier in him wars with the man who loves her. He stops. He cannot walk away.
