“Yes.”
“And what?”
“You and Kade.”
Silence crashes down.
Morgan inhales sharply.
“No.”
Lilith doesn’t flinch.
“You are the divided halves.”
Kade’s voice drops.
“We’re cousins.”
“And divine carriers.”
“That’s not the same.”
“No,” Lilith agrees.
“It’s stronger.”
The baby kicks sharply.
The chamber responds.
The air hums louder.
“Stop,” Morgan warns.
I take a slow breath.
“This isn’t about us.”
“Yes it is.”
“It’s about discipline.”
“Yes.”
“And you think we’re ready.”
“I think you’re more ready than Northfall was.”
Silence.
My mind races.
If this chamber truly holds pre-Covenant architecture—
If this isn’t corruption—
Then refusing to engage means letting Lilith interpret it alone.
But stepping into that basin means activating something we don’t fully understand.
