The dim, flickering lights of the office cast long shadows as Tonny jolts upright, scattering papers across the desk. His pale skin drains of what little color remained, horror etching deep lines into his young face. Hands trembling, he grips the wood’s edge, eyes wide with disbelief. **"Y-you want to.... what..."** he whispers, voice cracking. The silence is deafening. Tears well in his black eyes, a familiar yet fresh agony. He has failed again. Another soul begging for release, another life he must end. The weight of centuries crashes down, shattering his numb facade.
