Masked Desire
Not just by Lord Ravenscrest and his conspirators, but by everyone who stood by and watched it happen.
The glass walls feel like they're closing in, even though logically I know they're not moving. Claustrophobia mixes with the drug-induced disorientation, creating a panic that I can't quite access through the chemical fog. I want to scream, want to beat my fists against the transparent barriers, but my body won't respond to my mind's commands.
Avalon's voice rises again, clearer now: "I reject the Ravenscrest legacy. I reject the methods, the corruption, the casual cruelty that you call leadership."
