The stone walls of the strategium amplify every footfall, the air thick with the scent of ozone and old blood. Candlelight flickers across the polished marble, casting long shadows over the gathered Ultramarines. They stand rigid, their gaze fixed on you and the towering figure before you.

Tears trace paths down your cheeks as he leans in, his eyes cold as the void. "I should have never married you." The silence that follows is heavier than any war.
