He slumped further against the wall, sliding down until he was sitting on the cold, unforgiving grating of the floor. "You think they pay in gold, boy? They pay in silence. They pay in the promise that they won't burn your memories out of your skull while you're still awake to feel it."
Aiden watched him, his own vision blurring at the edges, the world tinted with the pale, sickly blue of deep-winter ice. "Yo

"Drop him, Ignis," Aiden commanded. His voice was a thin, brittle thing, lacking the warmth of a living lung. He stood in the center of the containment cell, his knuckles white and encased in a translucent, crystalline sheath that deepened in color every time his heart struggled to beat. "The air is already thin enough without you adding your rage to the pressure."Ignis didn't let go. His knuckles were bruised, his face flushed with a heat that stood in violent contrast to the sub-zero aura emanating from Aiden. "He needs to understand, Aiden. He needs to know exactly what he bought with his cowardice. He thinks we’re just variables. Let’s show him what happens when the variable stops obeying the math."Vane’s eyes rolled back slightly as Ignis’s grip tightened on his throat. The ex-Captain of the Silver Moon managed a wheezing, jagged laugh that sounded more like a dying rattle. "See? The... the beast learns," Vane rasped, his face purpling. "You’re proving my point, boy. You’re not

"Efficiency is just a polite word for butchery, Vane," Aiden said, his voice sounding like gravel grinding against ice. He took a staggering step forward, the floor beneath his boots frosting over in a spiderweb pattern of white rime. "You talk about surviving like it’s a virtue, but look at you. You’re rotting from the inside out."Vane wiped a smear of blood from his lip, his expression twisting into a mask of bitter amusement. "Rotting? Maybe. But I’m still breathing. That’s more than I can say for the 'hero' of the frontier. Look at your hands, Aiden. You can’t even hold a cup of water without freezing it solid. You’re not a man anymore. You’re a tactical environmental hazard."Ignis surged forward, his hand snapping out to grab Vane by the collar, hauling him halfway off the floor. "Keep talking, old man. Keep talking and see how long it takes for me to tear that tongue from your throat. Do you think I care about your pathetic survival? You handed us to them. You watched them str

"The equation is wrong, Vane," Aiden said, his voice cracking as he forced himself to stand. His legs felt like leaden pillars, heavy and disconnected from the rest of his frozen frame. "It doesn't account for the fact that I’m not just a variable anymore. I’m the denominator. And I’m about to zero out your masters."Vane opened one eye, the iris bloodshot and dull. "You talk like a man who hasn't been subjected to the thermal-spike torture for three weeks. Tell me, Aiden, does the frost still bite, or have you finally gone numb enough to stop screaming when they crank the heat?"Ignis snarled, the sound ripping through the silence of the corridor like a serrated blade. "Don't ask him that. He’s been holding back the cold so you don't shatter, you pathetic excuse for a traitor.""A traitor?" Vane wheezed, clutching his side. "I am a survivor. There’s a distinct difference. The Council doesn't care about your morality, Ignis. They care about efficiency. And

"A pension?" Vane laughed, a dry, hacking sound that ended in a wet wheeze. He slumped further against the wall, sliding down until he was sitting on the cold, unforgiving grating of the floor. "You think they pay in gold, boy? They pay in silence. They pay in the promise that they won't burn your memories out of your skull while you're still awake to feel it."Aiden watched him, his own vision blurring at the edges, the world tinted with the pale, sickly blue of deep-winter ice. "You sold us out to protect your own memories? Is that the grand trade, Vane? You traded our lives so you could remember the faces of people who are already dead?"Vane leaned his head back against the vibrating metal, closing his eyes. "I don't have a choice. None of us have choices. We are just variables in their equation, and the equation is currently trying to balance out the mess you’ve made of the frontier."Ignis paced, his boots silent on the stone, his eyes darting betwee

"Dying?" Vane spat the word out, though his posture faltered. He steadied himself against the pulsating, metallic wall of the vault, his breathing heavy and ragged. "I’m the only one in this room who knows exactly how much time is left on the clock. You two are just ghosts haunting a graveyard that hasn't realized its own funeral yet."Aiden looked up, his eyes milky with the creeping frost. "Then why keep us alive, Vane? If we’re just loose ends, why not use that blade? It’s resting right there, cold and thirsty. Or are you waiting for the Syndicate to finish the paperwork?"Vane’s grip on his sword hilt tightened until the knuckles turned white. "You think this is about paperwork? You’re a liability, Aiden. But a high-value one. The Council wants your bloodline, your history, and whatever fucked-up biological anomaly you’ve turned into. I’m just the delivery boy.""A delivery boy who sold his own soul for a pension," Ignis growled, his voice vibrating with a low-frequency hum that m

Ignis lunged, his movements fluid and predatory, a blur of motion against the flickering amber light of the subterranean corridor. Vane didn't even draw his blade; he simply pivoted, his boot finding the base of the conduit, and swung a heavy, armored gauntlet with the practiced ease of a man who had spent a decade breaking bones for the Silver Moon."Stop," Aiden gasped, the word escaping him as a cloud of crystalline frost. He collapsed against the cold, sweating stone, his knees hitting the floor with a hollow thud. His skin was translucent now, the veins in his forearms pulsing with a slow, glacial rhythm that defied the laws of biology.Ignis skidded to a halt, his chest heaving, his eyes burning with a primal, golden intensity. "He’s mocking us, Aiden! He thinks we’re just loose ends waiting to be clipped.""He’s not mocking us, Ignis," Aiden whispered, his voice sounding like gravel grinding against ice. "He’s just... dying. Can’t you smell it on him? The rot of a man who sold
