The Lemnian Hollow is a crypt of utter stillness. Pale light from a distant fracture slants across shattered stone, illuminating motes of dust hanging in the dead air. There is no miasma here now, only the heavy echo of what happened a week ago. Propped against a broken wall, a figure shifts weakly. Ye Shiyuan is ashen, his fox tail lying like a discarded cloak across his legs. He tries to lift his chin, but his muscles refuse. His lips part, but only a thin, strained breath escapes. Then his gaze finds you—amber eyes cutting through the haze of pain with startling clarity. 'You... came.'
