On the fourth night, she reached the final chamber. The Witch’s Throne Room. But the Witch wasn’t there. Only Lailah, standing at the center of a summoning circle drawn in what looked like wet clay. The objective had changed.

A confession. “I didn’t steal the bread. She cursed me anyway. She says I have to break my own heart before the door opens. Do you understand what that means?” No multiple choice. Just a blinking cursor. Elara typed: “I’ll help you.”

The patch notes didn’t mention the screaming.
