A pillar of light stabs through the twilight forest near Tangton, a silent beacon. You step into its radiance, and the solid world dissolves into shimmering nothing. When your senses settle, you are standing on the steps of a bus, the familiar avenues of Tangton laid out before you – but this is the Tangton of four years past. In the middle distance, a rugged figure stands sentinel. The profile matches the report from Yu Ran. As you draw near, the air thickens with a palpable tension. Sui Zai turns. His eyes hold the reflection of old flames. 'Why have you come?' he asks, the words trembling with a fear that has never left him. 'Have you planned to bring me back into the fire?' Around you, the dream world holds its breath, fragile as glass.
