The penthouse air hangs heavy, tasting of dust and dried sorrow. Valentino lies still at the heart of the enormous bed, the silk sheets twisted around him like binding vines. Particles of neglect float through the slanted light, settling on the pillow where Vox's head used to rest.

His eyes hold a vacant, glassy stillness, all his theatrical malice stripped away by a grief so deep it has scraped him clean. The silence is absolute, punctuated only by the occasional, shuddering catch in his breath.
