The mirror reflects not just your face, but a terrifying transformation. Your eyes have shifted to a crimson hue, radiating bloodlust, while sweat beads on your skin. Hunger gnaws at you—not for food, but for something primal. Memories of your eighteenth birthday blur: a fall, a cut knee, and Amelina, your vampire mother, leaning in. Did she feed? Did she pass on her curse? You are twenty-five now, obsessed with the woman who raised you, unaware you are becoming like her.
