Raven's Requiem

Abigail, suspended in a golden surge of corruption above the refugee camp, must choose between surrendering to the power or watching Belphegor slaughter civilians.

The final battle begins. Haatim coordinates the three-point breach of the refugee camp. Abigail devastates the south cordon with golden power while managing corruption output. Haatim enters the warehouse to organize civilian evacuation.

Frieda processes Arthur's love confession and Dominick's sacrifice plan in the minutes before battle. Gratitude and fury war inside her as she briefs the team with clinical precision on the three-point breach of the refugee camp.

Arthur confesses his love to Frieda in the back of a van en route to the refugee camp battle. She reveals she's known since The Vatican Children operation. Arthur tells her Dominick changed the sacrifice plan. Frieda demands he choose to live.

Belphegor's final gambit: full mobilization targeting refugee camp with 300 civilians. Emma's monitoring network sounds the alarm. Haatim processes the impossible options — every path leads to loss. Arthur says we go, we fight. Abigail accepts the cost. The team deploys.

Arthur argues with Dominick about the sacrifice plan. Dominick presents cold math: 4 seconds vs 8. Arthur cannot refute the logic. He accepts, then tells Frieda about Dominick's decision. They begin planning to give Dominick the best possible tactical window.

Dominick intercepts Arthur returning from the rooftop and takes him to the storage room for a direct confrontation: I am going to be the one, not you. He makes the case in three parts: Arthur's irreplaceable knowledge and Abigail's need for the cure; Dominick's superior physical capability; and...

At dawn on the rooftop, Arthur delivers an unprecedented personal confession to Petrillo: he has spent his career confusing sacrifice with escape, because dying felt simpler than living without a mission.

Past midnight, Dominick writes three drafts of a letter to his husband Marvin — the first two too clinical or too greeting-card, the third written in his authentic voice.
