Celestaria continued smoothly, guiding the narrative.
"Preliminary analysis confirms Prince Lux's assessment. The sigil lacks recursive debt binding and cannot anchor legitimate infernal authority invocation."

Celestaria inclined her head slightly. "Correct."

"I was," Lux confirmed.
"You engaged hostile entities?"
"I engaged survival," Lux replied politely.
Selena hid another almost-smile behind composed moonlight stillness.
