Chapter 55 - Chapter 55

"I'm going in."

Those three words dropped like stone across the table.

Mira leaned forward, concern plain in her eyes. "Elias… the dreamscape isn't a simulation. She controls the boundaries. You could get trapped."

Aya crossed her arms. "Let me go instead."

Elias shook his head. "She's not targeting you anymore. She's after what holds us together—me. If I don't face her, she'll keep picking us apart."

Velhira grunted. "Then don't just talk. Take her down."

"It's not that kind of fight," Serai said quietly. "She's not here to kill. She's here to… understand."

Lilith tilted her head. "Or dismantle."

They were all right.

Elias stood.

"I'll go under. Mira, sync me to the emotional relay net. If she tries to trap me, pull me back. Serai—guide the thread frequencies from outside. You feel subtle shifts best."

Both nodded.

Velhira handed him a dagger. "Just in case words fail."

He smiled. "I'll try not to stab the subconscious."
