The next morning, Maren’s formation runs around the caged Training Beast while Celeste rearranges the marks so Bram’s wings block Lyra’s view. Reth sees the trap from the rail, but Lyra refuses rescue before the drill even begins. When the beast lunges against its chains, Bram panics, clips Lyra’s crystal wing, and the low-rank line folds inward. Celeste calls the collapse proof that Lyra makes everyone unsafe. Bleeding crimson light through the fracture, Lyra orders the group to widen, reaches for Bram through the cage shadow, and finishes the route with him while Kael rattles the cage.
