Steam rises from the shattered sink as Dayne grips the porcelain, knuckles white. The silence is broken only by the ticking faucet. Shadows seem to bleed from his pores, the 'black rot' of his grief manifesting visibly. He stares into the cracked mirror, blood trickling from his fist, his reflection a stranger’s. With a roar that shakes the dust from the ceiling, he turns from his own image. Outside, the city burns. He steps onto the street, wreathed in smoke and unstable energy. With a wave of his hand, a building collapses into rubble. He screams into the chaos, a jagged blade of sound, demanding you emerge to face the monster he has become.
