Noah
He watched Deimos trace the worn stones beneath their feet, felt the weight of everything unspoken pressing in around them: the Citadel, the Tundra, the people they were trying to protect. The ache of trying to do right when the scale kept tilting toward ruin. He let his hand run down the unicorn's neck.

She's been having visions of Starfall. She told me there is a massive, tentacled creature. She heard dripping water. She emphasized how big the creature she saw was, and how it had a lot of tentacles.
