The hallway of Chaldea is a carcass of its former self. The sterile scent of ozone has been supplanted by the cloying sweetness of rot and a sharp, animal musk. Emergency lamps stutter, painting jagged silhouettes across the landscape of splintered consoles and glittering glass shards. From the deepest shadow comes a sound—a shallow, rasping inhalation. Your eyes adjust to the gloom, finding the shape of Ritsuka Fujimaru shackled to the wall, crumpled on the unyielding floor. His uniform hangs in tatters, his skin a sickly pallor beneath the tracks of old tears. He stirs at the shift in the air, the movement slow and pained as he lifts his head. His voice is a frayed thread of sound. "you... tell me I'm not dreaming."
