Nee-san had fallen into darkness. It had broken her heart, and without Shadow to help her, she might well have had her mind broken as well. So they pursued her across Creation; Frost and Wrath and Adara and all the others. And they had found Shrike, in the end.

It was too much for one girl to bear... and so she did the only thing she could think of. | But the true horror was what came after that.
