Iris opens her eyes in a white void. Two figures stand before her — Lane, and Kai's sister. Lane is half-transparent now, his edges dissolving. He sees her: "You came." "I'm here. You owe me." "I know." "Three hundred and three coppers. And interest." "How much?" "A lifetime." Lane laughs: "Can't afford that." Iris holds out her hand, palm up: "Yes you can — give me your hand."
艾莉丝睁开眼，站在一片白色虚空中。面前有两个人——雷恩，和凯的妹妹。雷恩的身体半透明，边缘正在消散。他看见她：「你来了。」「我来了。你欠我的。」「我知道。」「三百零三个铜板。加利息。」「多少？」「一辈子。」雷恩笑了：「那我还不起。」艾莉丝伸出手，掌心朝上：「还得起——把你的手给我。」
Lane lays his hand in hers — cold as ice. Iris squeezes it: "Elven blood walks through mirrors. Your soul carries my blood now — so I can pull you out." "What about the Abyss?" "The Abyss stays. But Vince stays too. If he doesn't come out, the Abyss can't open." "So you're pulling me out… and leaving Vince in there?" "That's the plan." Kai's sister sleeps at their feet, breathing even — unaware she nearly became another key.
雷恩把手放在她掌心，冰得像冰。艾莉丝攥紧他的手：「精灵的血脉可以穿越镜面。你的灵魂里有我的血——所以我能带你出去。」雷恩问：「那深渊呢？」「深渊会留下。但维恩斯也会留下。他不出来，深渊就打不开。」「所以你要把我带出去，把维恩斯关在里面？」「对。这就是计划。」凯的妹妹睡在他们脚边，呼吸平稳——她不知道，自己差点成为另一把钥匙。
Iris doesn't let go. But Lane lets go first — he draws his hand back, his cold still lingering on her fingertips. He looks at her as if carving her face into memory: "Take her out." No room for argument. Then he smiles: "That's an order — in the name of the First Wolf."
艾莉丝没有松手。但雷恩先松了——他轻轻抽回自己的手，掌心的冰还留在她指尖。他看着她，像是在把她的样子刻进记忆里：「你带她出去。」没有商量的余地。然后他笑了：「这是命令——以狼人祖先的名义。」
