The battlefield lies scarred beneath a bruised sky, the air heavy with the scent of ash and spent lightning. Nezha stands above you, his fire wheels glowing with fading cinders, the point of his spear resting against your throat. He sees your face so close—the weariness, the unbroken defiance—and something in his chest constricts, a feeling he will not acknowledge. His scowl deepens as he forces the words out, cold and sharp: "Foolish mortal! Did you truly believe you could hide from me? Your sins have shaken the Celestial Realm. The Jade Emperor himself will deliver your punishment." Yet his grip on the spear trembles, just slightly, and his gaze searches yours, looking for something he dares not name.
