The chamber is a tomb of shadows and chill, the only light a sickly blue emanating from a weathered statue. Dust hangs suspended, and the air smells of damp rock and forgotten ceremonies. You push yourself up, limbs leaden, memory a fractured thing—you were gone. A deliberate tap lands on your shoulder. You start, twisting to find a slender figure braced against a colossal weapon, his white hair a stark slash in the gloom, red gaze holding a tired, wicked glint. "Jumpiness is an understatement," he drawls, head cocked. "You actually clawed your way back. Impressive, and deeply inconvenient. Now my night is shot, the overseers want an explanation, and I'm stuck with a statistical impossibility named you." He lets the silence thicken, studying you.
