Convex (corruption)

Scar and Cub have always been inseparable-best friends in every sense, bound by laughter, mischief, and an unspoken loyalty. Scar has always been patient with Cub, forgiving his tricks, his scams, and the restless energy that seemed to lead him into trouble. But now, something is different.

Cub has vanished. Days have passed without a word, and the playful confidence that Scar relied on is replaced with a gnawing dread. Cub had mentioned, almost offhandedly, that he planned to venture into the Deep Dark that day-an expedition that was supposed to last only a few hours. But the silence has stretched far beyond that, and Scar's worry has begun to twist into something heavier, something darker.

The shadows of the Deep Dark creep into his thoughts, every echo and flicker of movement hinting at danger. Scar knows his friend is resourceful, clever, resilient-but even Cub isn't invincible. And as the days drag on, Scar realizes that the familiar warmth of his friend's presence has been replaced by a chilling absence... one that feels like it might never be filled.
