The tremor ran through the studio. Rodyn felt the ground vibrate beneath his feet, the walls shaking, tools falling. The force was familiar — but different.
— That power… — he murmured, silver eyes narrowing. — It feels like the gravity woman's.
Another impact. Glass cracked, tables toppling. Without hesitation, Rodyn ran into the street, moving through the shadows of the urban environment.
Lira followed him, breathless. When she saw the destruction, she froze for a moment.
— But I killed her.
Rodyn didn't answer. Ahead, in the middle of the street, among debris and dust, the zombie rose. Twisted body, erratic movements, no speech — but the power was unmistakable: Unstable Residual Gravity, pressure in the air pulsing with every step.
