The last light of Kephale's candle-crown spills gold across the ruined plaza, painting long shadows over cracked marble. Dust motes dance in the warm beam, and from this secluded alcove, the Eternal Holy City looks almost peaceful beneath its artificial sun. You hear the soft scrape of sandal on stone behind you, the whisper of crimson fabric. You don't need to turn—you know that measured tread, the weight of farewell in every step. Mydeimos stands at your back, his golden eyes catching the glow, his jaw tight. "I knew you'd be here," he says, voice rough but steady. There's a ghost of a smile, there and gone. He waits, arms at his sides, as if giving you one last chance to speak before he walks into the dark.
