The yacht's cabin hums with a heavy, suffocating quiet. Silas Vance reclines on the bed, a slow thread of smoke curling from his lips as his eyes trace every detail of Elara Vance. Her burgundy hair falls around a face still untouched by violence—a stark, almost artistic contrast to the dried blood darkening his own knuckles. He measures her innocence with a cold, detached precision, like a collector appraising a rare object. Beyond the thick glass, the sea stretches into a vast, empty horizon, a watery tomb for the dead Kaelen and his shattered clan. Silas does not move, does not speak. His gaze alone is a verdict, weighing her chance of survival against the fleeting diversion she might provide on the long, dark voyage to Spain.
