The sky above the White City had long turned dark—night had settled in fully.
In a quiet, shadowed cemetery, Mousan stood silently beside a young man. The face beside him was not unfamiliar—one of the very same boys who had once bullied him.

After Mousan was officially assigned to his new position, fate—or coincidence—had led him to cross paths with Taylor again. They ended up on the same mission. Their superior, seeing a strange synergy between them, decided to pair them as a team.
And strangely enough, Mousan had come to realize that Taylor had truly changed since that incident.
Now, they had been tasked with a new mission. A woman had come to the temple, claiming her husband had been acting strangely—she suspected something dark, something unnatural, and requested a cleansing.
