Velvet Sin Hollow Thrones

Hollow Thrones

[RAINCORP’s Secret Archive Room | 2:42 AM | Flickering surveillance. A storm slamming the city. Kael alone with shadows]

Her name is still in the system.

Her perfume still haunts the elevator.

But she’s not here. And for the first time in years, the silence feels like punishment.

Kael Marcellus

...

[He opens a secured drive. Footage. Velvet's badge used. Timestamped after she’d left.]

(muttering)

Kael Marcellus

She didn’t do this

[His jaw tightens. A flicker of emotion. Rage? Guilt? Regret? Maybe all of it.]

[The Underclub | 3:07 AM | Dante & Velvet sitting in a blood-red booth. The kind of place where promises become threats.]

Dante Ruelle

You sure you wanna play this game? Kael’s not a man — he’s a wound in a suit.

Velvet Elenor

Then let’s cauterize him.

Velvet Elenor

(lighting a cigarette, eyes like iced whiskey)

[Kael’s Mansion | Morning | Elio drawing on the floor. Paper planes. Silence.]

Kael Marcellus

(kneeling) You miss her?

Elio Kael

She had stars in her eyes. “Mom used to say that means someone’s lost and dreaming.

[Kael exhales. Broken.]

Kael Marcellus

I think I made her stop dreaming

Kael Marcellus

( soft)

[Velvet’s Apartment | Noon | Lyra brushing Velvet’s hair.]

Lyra Vienne

You’re scaring me, V. This isn’t heartbreak. This is war paint.

Velvet Elenor

(smirking, bitter)

Velvet Elenor

What’s the difference? Both start with love and end in ruins.

Kaels pov I told myself I was protecting her. But truth? I just didn’t know how to keep something I didn’t deserve.

Kael opens his encrypted tablet. New message. Anonymous tip: “Check who was in the control room the night Velvet was framed.” Velvet, across the city, sliding a USB to Dante

Dante Ruelle

Ready to bring a king to his knees

Velvet Elenor

He stole my soul. I’m just returning the favor.
