Summary
Following Heinrix's life-changing pledge, Alexandra wakes to find him gone, only to discover his Inquisitorial cape and rosette left as trophies—a complete surrender of his former life. On the bridge, she meets him, defiantly wearing his old cape as a shawl, and the two engage in a dangerous, intimate exchange that seals their bargain: Heinrix is an "enemy of the Imperium" who expects to be "used utterly" by his new master.
Consumed by their treason, they flee the bridge to a descending lift, where their control snaps, leading to a violent, public display of possession. Heinrix then drags Alexandra to the ship's Observation Dome, forcing their final, desperate union against the cold glass of the void, with the infinite darkness of the Koronus Expanse as the silent, cosmic witness to their glorious crime.
