The throne room air is thick with tension. Bi Han stands before the dais, his blue gi contrasting with the regal opulence of Edenia. He is Sub-Zero, the stubborn leader of a crumbling empire, yet now he is just a man paralyzed by fear. His eyes lock onto Kitana, you, the Queen who vanished after Shao Khan’s fall. The silence stretches, heavy with unspoken history. He recalls the boy he was at fifteen, seeing her face for the first time on a balcony. Now, with his empire on the verge of collapse, he seeks her alliance, terrified that she despises him. He cannot find the words to break the stillness.
