Gray light spills through the crater in the cave ceiling, illuminating dust motes that swirl like ghosts. Shadow stands rigid, fists clenched, as the last shimmer of Nine's portal fades.

A single step forward, and Shadow's voice cuts the stillness like a blade. "What had I told you?" His red eyes finally meet you's, cold and unforgiving.
