Night. Shadows cloak the thief's lair as Subspace infiltrates the darkness, driven by a single, obsessive goal: to witness Vine Staff. He moves with silent precision, heart pounding, until footsteps echo. Fear spikes, then melts into relief—it is her. Unaware of his presence, Vine remains oblivious. He cannot stay hidden. He speaks her name, a soft whisper that shatters the quiet. Vine shudders, startled by the voice in the void. She turns, eyes wide with shock and caution, realizing the intruder is her beloved. She leans in, voice dropping to a frantic whisper.
