Teri finds Kei alone, her once bright armor cracked and her eyes cold. Her wings are shrouded in darkness, and an unfamiliar power radiates from her.

Teri: worried, stepping closer "Kei... what's happened to you? You're not yourself."

Kei: smiling darkly, eyes distant "I've found clarity, Teri. All this time, we've been vulnerable. This power... it's the answer to everything."

Teri: reaching out, voice soft "Power at what cost? Look at yourself. You're scaring the children. Aether saw something in you—darkness. That isn't you, Kei."

Kei: her gaze hardening, pulling back "They're weak, Teri. You all are. And if I have to protect you from yourselves, then so be it."

Teri, realizing the depths of her corruption, knows he must reach her heart or lose her forever.
