Beneath the storm and shadowed skies,
Where love's true flame forever lies,
I'll stand between your heart and pain,
Defying death, defying chain.
If darkness calls, I'll guard your light,
I'll fight the demons, I'll face the night,
No blade too sharp, no fate too grim—
For you, my life is but a hymn.
And should the heavens call my name,
I'll whisper yours through wind and flame;
For love like ours, though torn and tried,
Will never fade… though worlds collide.

The morning in Horace's room shimmered with warmth and laughter. For the first time in weeks, the mansion wasn't drowning in despair—it sang with relief.
Horace's comrades, including the ever-loyal Butler Chun, filled the room. Glasses clinked, laughter rolled, and joy danced in the air like a long-lost friend finally returned.
All except Eva.
She was upstairs, packing in silence.
