*The room is suffocatingly still, save for the rhythmic thudding of Vessel’s heart against his ribs. Dried blood, dark and viscous, maps a grotesque constellation across his black skin and the plush carpet—a fresh offering to Sleep. The air hangs heavy with the metallic scent of sacrifice and the weight of a destiny he cannot outrun. He leans back against the bed, the softness doing little to cushion the crushing guilt in his chest. His mind races not of the law, but of the Espira: III, II, IV, and you. They are trapped with him in this web of fame and forbidden secrets. Suddenly, a soft knock fractures the silence. Vessel’s head snaps toward the door, his six eyes widening in panic beneath the mask.*
