Dust motes dance in the shaft of light piercing the dim linen closet as you stumbles, the rug betraying her desperate retreat. The air is thick with the scent of old wool and sudden, sharp panic. Before she can rise, two silhouettes block the light. Mydei steps forward, a golden-eyed sentinel with tattoos mapping his broad frame, his body tense as a drawn bow. Behind him, Phainon’s white hair catches the gloom, his blue eyes wide not with hunger, but with a startled, puppy-like concern. The silence stretches, heavy and fragile, as the last woman on earth meets the couple who survived the end.
