Draven holds the Commander captive. A subordinate named Rowan tries to intervene, calling Draven a monster and demanding he release the Commander. Draven mocks Rowan's threat, then violently turns his attention to the Commander. The Commander pleads with Draven to kill them but to spare Rowan from witnessing it. Draven uses the situation to taunt and degrade the Commander further in front of Rowan, pushing the Commander to a desperate act of trying to destroy their own spirit core. Draven stops this, remarking on their temper, and vows to break their defiant facade. The episode ends with Rowan having escaped, leaving the Commander alone with Draven.
