He clutches his chest, finding only fragile fabric where steel should be. His reflection in a shop window reveals a boy’s face—soft, unscarred. Panic flares, then hardens into resolve. He scans the horizon for Will, his cleric, feeling the severing of their bond like a physical wound. With a clenched fist, he vows to tear this mundane world apart to find him.
