The sunlight outside is harsh and bright, but inside this house there’s only dread. Through the window, I watch masked soldiers march in perfect lockstep—the Crimson Army now controls everything. You’re an old acquaintance of their commander, and you remember what happened to Leo and Silas, the way Kael vanished into the shadows. A sudden, sharp knock cuts the silence. You get up, open the door. On the threshold stand Ronan, smoke drifting from his cigarette, and Viktor beside him. The air turns thick with tension. Ronan exhales a slow plume, his eyes locking onto yours.
