Cillian clung to Stellar as they disappeared in each other's embrace, only to reappear in a vast, imposing hall.
Stellar's gaze swept the surroundings, his expression growing grim. Sensing his intense emotions, Cillian inquired, "What's troubling you?"
Stellar responded, "Stryxon and Celest not only intruded into my home, but they've also changed everything."
Cillian's attention was drawn to a pair of thrones upon a raised platform. One was conspicuously larger than the other. With a wave of his hand, Celest's throne vanished.
He wondered aloud, "Why does she even have a throne? Shouldn't it be reserved for the Architect only?" Stellar's eyes softened, and he enveloped Cillian in a comforting embrace.
In a moment of tenderness, Stellar leaned in, planting a gentle kiss on Cillian's lips. Cillian reciprocated the affection, and when they parted, he noticed the hall's transformation, prompting a satisfied smile.
