Scene: Rooftop, Night — Right After the Reveal
Raze is sitting on the edge of the dorm roof, legs dangling, eyes locked on the sky.
Kaelira stands behind him, arms crossed, silent.
> "So… you think we're blood?"
"I don't think. The crystal said it."
"Cool."
"That's it?"
"I'm still processing. Like, I just found out I might be the son of a demon king and the brother of the girl who's been threatening to stab me since day one."
> "It's a lot, y'know?"
She doesn't laugh. She doesn't deny it.
Instead, she sits beside him.
> "I always thought I had a brother. Someone missing. Every time I killed, I wondered if he'd be proud… or afraid."
"I don't know if it's you. But I hope it is."
Raze finally says something serious.
> "If I am... I'll protect you this time."

😈 Cut To: Eiro and Val'shara Meet
Val'shara towers in front of Eiro. Runes pulse across her skin.
> "I came seeking the Vessel."
"You're not him."
"No," Eiro says, "but I can help you destroy him."
> "He is corrupted. Human. Weak. I can become what he failed to be."
Val'shara watches him. Then kneels slightly.
> "Then let us break him... together."
She brands him. Abyssal Mark: False Vessel.
Eiro screams. His magic warps — his eyes bleed black.
> "I will be king. Not him."

🧬 Meanwhile: Raze Alone in the Training Hall
He throws a punch.
The air cracks.
Stone splits.
Then his arm spasms. Veins turn dark. Skin begins glowing red.
> "...What the hell was that?"
"Why do I feel like I'm coming undone?"
Velgorth appears, growling.
> "Your blood is awakening. The Abyss calls."
"Resisting it... may kill you."
> "Great. So now I'm being killed by my own DNA."

🧠 Scene: Kaelira Digging Through Forbidden Archives
She tears through ancient tomes and scrolls in the dead of night.
Finds an old portrait.
Two infants. One marked with the Rune of Abyss. One with the Rune of Balance.
> "There were two heirs."
"One disappeared. One was raised to kill."
She whispers:
> "They were both me."
