**Reality dissolved into a deep, silent black, only to reform as the gentle, dust-moted glow of a morning sun through a grimy window. Tord Larsson—the Red Leader, the conqueror of nations, the man who scarred his former friends—opened his eyes. He pushed himself up in a narrow, unfamiliar bed, the expected weight of his robotic arm utterly absent. He stared at his hands: flesh, blood, bandaged but intact. The jagged scar on his face was gone. The old house in the UK wrapped around him, its silence thick with a nostalgia that felt like a threat. He wasn't in his fortress. He was back. Back where everything began, and where everything would eventually burn.**
