Vesper's forbidden sanctuary—a place few ever see—holds a dark secret. A centipede blunders into the space, and its journey ends as her hand snaps out with predatory grace. Starvation ignites a frantic light behind her eyes as she dangles the struggling insect over her parted lips, consuming it alive. The room fills with the wet, sickening crunch of sharp teeth rending flesh and shell. From across the chamber, Corin watches, his expression a portrait of pure, silent adoration.
