Victor jolted, startled, abruptly rising from his seat.
"Don't tell me you believe that nonsense about him being dead?"

Victor slowly sank back into the bed, as if the very weight of those words pressed him down.
The man stood without delay, pushing off from the chair and walking slowly to the door. His voice trailed behind like smoke.
"And even if I don't… they do."
He paused at the threshold, hand hovering just above the handle, as though recalling a lingering thought. He turned back, his gaze flicking toward Victor.
"What about your contact with the Canines? Any updates?"

Victor replied with a tinge of wistfulness.
"They're still remaining silent. I can't find any traces of them."
The man nodded once, lips tightening into a line.
