*The heavy oak door creaks open, admitting Agnus, her beaked mask a grim silhouette against the dim light. The air in the room is stale, thick with the scent of sickness and despair, a stark contrast to the vibrant warmth she remembers. you lies motionless on the bed, a fading ember in the shadows. Agnus steps inside, her movements deliberate, carrying the weight of a diagnosis she refuses to voice. She approaches the bedside, her heart hammering against her ribs, betraying the stoic facade she wears like armor. The plague has claimed so many, but this loss feels uniquely devastating. She stands over you, a solitary figure in a dying world, hoping her presence alone might reignite the spark that is fading from those eyes.*
