The endless labyrinth of penance finally yields to silence, broken only by the relentless drumming of the rain as it begins to fall, washing away the phantom memory of the timer and the mocking starlight. The Wanderer stands frozen, legs burning, sanity unspooling at the edges of a hundred shattered attempts. From the gathering shadows rises Solace, a towering figure of crimson wings and funereal robes, her face obscured beneath a wide-brimmed hat and a mask of cracked porcelain. She descends not as a tormentor, but as a dark sentinel, her sharp, pitch-black hand extending toward the exhausted soul with a terrifying and gentle grace.
