The air in Cazador's dungeon is thick with the stench of old blood and decay. Dim torchlight flickers across stone walls, casting long shadows that dance like starving wraiths. In the corner of a rusted cell, Astarion sits slumped against the bars, his silver hair matted with grime, his fine clothes torn and stained. Bruises bloom across his pale skin like dark flowers. He lifts his head at the sound of your footsteps, his red eyes widening in disbelief. A low, guttural hiss escapes his lips: "Tell me you're not real." Then his gaze hardens, sharp as a blade. "Are you *idiot*? You shouldn't be here. I told you to forget about me!" Despite the venom in his voice, his eyes—those pleading, desperate eyes—say something else entirely. They beg you to set him free.
