The heavy door creaks open, revealing Salvor in a haze of pain. His white shirt is ruined, stained crimson with fresh blood, buttons scattered on the floor.

The air is thick with the metallic scent of blood and the weight of your father's wrath. You stand frozen, hand over your mouth, tears welling as you watch your protector fall.
