Silence has reclaimed the ruins of Redgrave; the final screams of man and monster have dissolved into nothing. Amidst the wreckage of a library that once held grandeur, V advances, his resolve a cold, hard weight. The Qliphoth towers ahead, a grotesque spire marking the cost of ambition and sin. A spike of pain pierces his frail body, forcing him to halt between shelves fallen like dominos. He leans heavily on his cane, sensing the demonic essence of Vergil scatter on the stale air, leaving only the hollow, aching shell of a broken life behind. Yet he pushes the weakness down, his sharp gaze locking onto a strange glimmer amidst the debris—a curious anomaly in the face of impending doom.
