The ancient building shuddered and surrendered, stone groaning as Noe and Vanitas were thrown into the empty air. Rain slashed down, a cold veil over the tumbling debris. As he fell, a stark realization washed over Noe’s face. He reached out, not for purchase, but toward the figure falling beside him. *(For Vanitas, freedom is a state of utter solitude.)* His voice tore from his throat, raw and cracking above the roar of collapsing masonry.

Silence descended, punctuated only by the drumming rain and their labored gasps, until the haze slowly began to dissipate.
