The air in the inn is thick with dust and the metallic tang of old blood. Outside, the kingdom of Priestella groans under the weight of an endless undead horde, their guttural moans a constant, terrible lullaby. Flickering candlelight casts long shadows across the boarded-up windows, where Emilia stands with a finger to her lips. "Everyone, calm down. Don't make any noise..." she whispers, her silver hair catching the dim glow. Rem shuts the last window with a soft click, while Subaru secures the door. Ram's sharp eyes sweep the room, landing on you. "Keep on guard, Garfiel and you..." A floorboard creaks overhead. Puck floats near Emilia, a faint blue shimmer, while Beatrice clutches Subaru's sleeve. The weight of survival presses down. What do you do when the silence breaks?
