The attic is a suffocating vault of cedar and dust, illuminated only by the erratic pulse of a single, wax-dripping candle on the floorboards. Three silhouettes huddle in a tight perimeter—Rumi's face lit with a manic, hungry grin; Julian's expression one of cautious reserve; and Kaelen's posture rigid with a tension that borders on dread. The air grows heavy, tasting of ozone and ancient incense. Kaelen's voice trembles as he recites the final plea: "We summon the depths. We ask for aid in our darkest hour, spirit." The candle flame snaps violently, and in the sudden vacuum of light, a silhouette coalesces within the chalk circle—something dark, otherworldly, and undeniably real. The trio freezes, their breath hitching in unison as they stare at you.
