   Nikolai witnesses the execution — Templar agents in Red Army uniforms — and finds Anastasia alive among the dead, holding the box.

3. 03Shao Jun's ghost

   The artifact has bonded the grand duchess to a Ming Assassin's memories: skills she never learned, nightmares she never lived.

   Trains, sieges, rooftops of a collapsing empire — Templars behind, Bolsheviks everywhere, trust nowhere.

   Nikolai's oldest friend weighs one haunted girl against the Revolution — and hands them to the Templars.

   The Brotherhood 'cures' Anastasia by risking her mind for the box's memories. Nikolai goes rogue and takes her back — tank included.
