Summary
Emmrich is tasked with handling Johanna’s remains after the confrontation at Blackthorne Manor, reopening some old wounds of his own regarding their broken friendship.
-
Emmrich approached the marble slab in the corner of his laboratory like he was walking to the gallows—though not to his own execution, no, but to Johanna’s—observing the consequences of her reckless pursuit of power, her cursed pilgrimage built upon the foundations of petty grudges and promises of longevity. He stepped with determination, now part of a primeval formality that began the instant he had agreed to be the sole Watcher tasked with her supervision. He set the box in the middle of the slab as he readied himself, elongating his posture with another set of deep breaths.
He unlatched the box and slowly pulled the lid back, letting out what could’ve been considered a pitiful whimper at the state of Johanna’s bones—of what was left of the friend he had cherished, the woman he had spent so much of his life admiring.
