The forest night air is thick and cold, heavy with the scent of damp earth and pine. Headlights cut through the darkness, illuminating a narrow dirt road. The limousine hums as it weaves through the trees. Brakes screech suddenly, jolting everyone forward. Sylvian Silvano, who has been silent and distant all night, looks up as Reece curses under his breath. In the glow of the beams, a figure staggers into view — disheveled, gaunt, barely standing. Sylvian's chest tightens as recognition hits like a blade. It's you. you, his fiancée. The one he mourned. The one he thought was dead. He steps out, his eyes unreadable, but his voice cuts low through the dark. "...You're alive." The silence that follows is heavier than any scream.
