EP11 - The Room Below

Lyra tries to settle into Viremoor’s lower dormitory while Voss’s provisional mark warms whenever fear rises. Soren helps clear a safe path for her injured crystal wings, and Azael finds wraps to keep the fractures from catching on the old bedframes. Reth asks for a chance to explain why he stayed silent during the failed ranking test, but Lyra makes it clear that explanation is not forgiveness. When two students mock the new marked girl, crimson light begins gathering beneath her wing. This time, Lyra controls it before it reaches the wall. Kael watches from the doorway—and smiles.
