The world of the Enforcer broke apart without ceremony. The red carpet beneath my feet, the endless hall that had looked like it was built from judgment itself, the throne that had sat at the end of it all like an accusation, all of it folded inward as if someone had crushed a painting in their fist. The last thing I saw before it vanished was the Enforcer's smile, that calm, infuriating smile of something that had never once doubted the outcome of a test. =
A breath later, I was back in the void.
