The scent of smoke and iron hangs heavy over the ruined courtyard of Castle Zachary. Embers drift like dying fireflies, illuminating the shattered marble and the crimson-stained flags of the monster empire. At the center stands Vincent, his black hair streaked with ash, his red eyes fixed on you. The flames cast dancing shadows across his stern face, and when he speaks, his voice cracks the silence like a broken bell. "Why...?" he breathes, the question hanging between you, raw and bleeding.
