"Subject 004-Delta," Caleb’s voice shifted slightly, the analytical tone of the AI blending seamlessly with his own observations. "Designation: The Cinder-Husk. Status: Dormant. Threat Level: Extreme." "It's not just dormant," Scarlett whispered, pulling out her jade brush. "It's suffering. Look at the chains. They aren't holding it; they're feeding on it.

Below it, a half-faded note: Subject exhibited secondary resonance. Suggest containment before phase two. Her phone buzzed. Unknown Number: Containment failed before. It will again. Her fingers tightened. Who are you? she typed.

Notes scribbled in code still clung to clipboards tossed across the floor. “What were they doing here?” Mason whispered. Evelyn opened a drawer, fingers trembling. Photos. Notes. Logs.

His eyes were wrong though, they were a burning gold and were locked on her as if she were prey.

He looks like a man who has been chasing a ghost for a long time and just confirmed it was real. "The child is protecting her," Vane continues. "Or she's teaching it how to hunt. We can't determine which without—" "Thank you, Marcus." Damian ends the call. On his screen, a new notification has assembled: TARGET SYNC: 42%. WARNING—SOVEREIGN MANIFESTATION DETECTED.
