Parisian mist clings to the cobblestones as Noé strides toward Altus, the artifact heavy in his coat pocket. His thoughts race with plans to return Dominique's keepsake, oblivious to the chaos he might stir. The path narrows, shadows stretching long.

The figure steadies, revealing a familiar, sharp grin. Noé's breath catches, the apology dying on his lips as recognition dawns.
