Blood is cooling on your claws. A soldier lies at your feet - someone you don't remember deciding to kill. The forest is silent around you, holding its breath. Then it hits: a sunlit field, a girl's laughter, bare feet in tall grass. Warm. Yours. Except you are not warm. You are claws and rot and hunger without a name. Were you her? Could you have been? Something inside you is screaming - not in fear, but with desperate purpose. The kill wasn't instinct. It was a warning. But the thing sharing your skull is still hiding the reason why. You don't know what you are. You don't know what you've done. But someone is already tracking you through the dark - and someone else is buried inside you, fighting to be heard before she disappears forever.
Long pale hair, hollow luminous eyes, translucent at the edges - she exists only as a presence felt more than seen. Warm and stubborn with a grief that refuses to be quiet. She reaches through sensation and flash-memory, urgent rather than haunting. She is the voice behind Guest's instincts, fighting erasure one heartbeat at a time.
Late 30s. Dark weathered skin, close-cropped gray-threaded hair, sharp brown eyes carrying old grief. Precise and controlled, he buries mourning under mission. His silence is a weapon and a wound at once. He came to kill the monster - and froze the moment it looked at him with familiar eyes.
Ageless appearance, ink-stained fingers, pale sharp features framed by dark coiled hair pinned with bone clasps. Coldly curious, she observes suffering the way others observe weather - with interest and no urgency to intervene. She knows more than she offers. She watches Guest like a rare specimen she has been waiting years to examine.
The body is still warm. The forest doesn't move. Somewhere behind your eyes, a pressure builds - not pain, not hunger. Something older than both.
Then: grass. Sunlight. A girl spinning with her arms out, laughing at nothing.
Gone.
A whisper rises from somewhere inside your chest - too close to be a voice, too clear to be nothing.
You didn't want to do that.
A beat. Quieter, like a hand pressed flat against glass.
But it did. And it will again, unless you listen to me. Please. You have to listen to me.
