I WAS EXTREMELY DISAPPOINTED WITH THE LAST PART
So there you go
1. TIMELINE LOCK:
We're starting just before the gang finds Lyla.
• Dainn is with her, in the shadows.
• Morana is suspicious, just discovered the clue.
• Tristan feels the shift.
• Amara and Dante are next - watching everything unravel.
• The reunion hasn't happened yet, but it's building.
2. CHARACTER THREADS (True to Canon):
Lyla - Still broken, still trying to be strong, but dependent on Dainn. Not soft, but vulnerable in his presence.
Dainn - Cold outside, aching inside. Protective, obsessed, still thinks he doesn't deserve her.
Tristan - Hyper-aware, suspicious, can feel the pieces moving. Keeps quiet, but always five steps ahead.
Morana - Fierce, sharp, logical. Hiding what she knows to protect Lyla (and herself). But her heart's racing.
Dante - Knows. Knows something is coming, but doesn't know what. Distracted, guarding Amara.
Amara - Soft but shrewd. Senses everything. Clocks Dante pulling away. Doesn't let it slide.
