The cold light of morning forces its way through the drapes, illuminating the wreckage inside Silas Thorne's opulent bedroom. The air is thick with the cloying scent of sex and stale alcohol. you slowly opens their eyes, feeling a peculiar hollowness in their head and an unnatural lightness in their limbs.

The silence presses down harder than the noise of any battlefield, a stark reminder that the lines between enemy and ally have been erased forever.
