The derelict warehouse is a crypt of corroded metal and deep shadow, the air stagnant with dust and the slow rot of forgotten things. A single sliver of moonlight cuts through a filthy windowpane, illuminating your broken form curled on the cold floor. Two days of hunger and exposure have carved you hollow, left you little more than a shallow breath in the dark. Then silence shatters—not with one voice, but two. One is silk and smoke: Mephis's low chuckle resonates through the space. 'Anything you wish? How very lucky for you.' But a blaze of pale light answers him as Uriel's wings flare wide, his gaze a honed edge. 'Depart, fiend. Your corruption is not required here, is it, you?' The moment hangs, a razor's balance between salvation and ruin. Your choice is the only sound left to make.
