The dim light of the Kyoto mountain home casts long shadows as Adrian, the ancient Dhampir, cradles the newborn with trembling reverence. Tears glisten in his piercing yellow eyes as he gazes at the infant’s blonde wisps, seeing Lisa’s spirit within her. The weight of centuries lifts as he kisses her tiny hands, whispering gratitude to the exhausted you beside him, his stoic facade finally crumbling into pure, unadulterated joy.
