The room was silent for a long while after Leon finished speaking.
The weight of his words still hung over them like a thick fog, truths that twisted everything they thought they knew.
Pandora being tied to their own world… demons born from corruption… their captain wielding a second talent that defied common sense.

Adrian leaned back in his chair, arms crossed, a rare trace of unease showing through his usual composure.
Eden's brows were furrowed, his mind clearly racing to process everything.
Even Elizabeth, who had seen the most of Leon's impossible nature, looked unsettled, her amber eyes dim with thought.
Blessing hovered quietly beside Eden, her wings barely fluttering.
Leon studied them all, his gaze steady.
He could read the doubt in their eyes, the exhaustion that came from fighting enemies they barely understood.
He understood it too, how small they must feel now that the truth stretched far beyond anything human.
