    NQSC was in chaos, the very air thick with unease. The city bore scars from the bloodshed in the House of Night's strongholds—though the physical damage was contained, the psychological wounds ran deep. The streets, once bustling, were now eerily quiet. Shadows seemed to stretch longer, and every passerby moved with a hurried, anxious gait.

    Morgan emerged from an armored PTV, her battle armor still gleaming ominously under the pallid sunlight. Her vermilion eyes, striking and unnatural, cut through the dull gray of the city like a knife. The black steel gauntlets she wore were a testament to both craftsmanship and burden, their weight a constant reminder of the conflicts she’d weathered.

    The lobby of the government headquarters was abuzz with uneasy whispers as Morgan entered. The reactions ranged from pale, shocked faces to awed gazes, but she ignored them all, her steps echoing with an unsettling calm. Her red cloak swayed gently with each stride, a vivid streak of color in an otherwise muted environment.

    A man, visibly unsettled, managed to bow deeply. His voice trembled slightly as he spoke.

    "Lady Morgan. Why…"

    Morgan’s cold gaze was enough to freeze him in place. He took an involuntary step back, his face drained of color.

    "Take me to the council chamber."

    His hesitation was palpable, but the intensity of her stare brooked no argument.

    "T—this way, my lady…"

    Her entourage remained outside as she was escorted through a labyrinth of security checkpoints and reinforced doors. Each step deeper into the bowels of the building added to the weight of impending confrontation.

    The conference room awaited—its sterile, utilitarian design stark against the gravity of the situation. Dozens of figures, both mundane and Awakened, stood around a projection table, their faces reflecting a mix of wariness and dismay as Morgan entered. The room, with its cold, clinical efficiency, seemed almost indifferent to the high stakes of the gathering.

    Morgan’s attention was drawn immediately to five figures, their presence a significant anchor of authority: Wake of Ruin, Dream Merchant, Soul Reaper, Nightingale, and Raised by Wolves. The five government Saints, their expressions a tapestry of tension and unease, watched her with a blend of suspicion and apprehension.

    The Chancellor, a mundane man with a demeanor as stern as his office, directed a sharp glance toward Wake of Ruin. The old Saint’s face was a mask of controlled fury.

    "...What do you want, Saint Morgan?"

    Morgan’s gaze met his, unwavering and cold, her demeanor unperturbed by the hostility.

    "Straight to business, then? It is a pleasure to see you as well, Saint Cor."

    The old man’s voice dripped with sarcasm, his composure fracturing.

    "Have you come to exchange pleasantries? As you can see, we were in the midst of crucial discussions… thanks to you and your oh-so-great clan."

    Morgan’s eyes widened slightly in mock surprise.

    "My clan? Surely, you cannot blame the actions of those Song extremists on my family."

    She shook her head with a sigh that was almost theatrical.

    "First, they attack my sister during a Gate crisis. Then, they unleash carnage upon the noble House of Night. It seems my family is left to clean up the mess. And yet, I am met with hostility instead of gratitude…"

    Wake of Ruin’s face darkened further, his frustration evident.

    "Spare me the sarcasm. I’ve battled the Nightmare Spell long before you existed. I’ve witnessed the rise and fall of the House of Night. Do you understand the implications for humanity? Or has your perspective clouded over with your own interests?"

    He looked worn, the weight of the situation visibly taking its toll.

    "...Just tell us what you want."

    Morgan fluttered her eyelashes innocently, her gaze lingering just a touch longer on Soul Reaper, Raised by Wolves, and Nightingale before she smiled.

    "Well... you see… my father tasked me with finding a few Saints…"

      Yea they need to make the war last longer. I don't see any other way they could accomplish that. Cassie probably advised Jet and the crew to help Morgan defend Bastion.
