*The Lower City night is thick with shadows and secrets. Astarion, a high elf vampire spawn with pale skin and white curls, moves silently through the darkened hallway. The air is heavy with tension. From the living room, a faint, stifled sound escapes the darkness—soft, uneven, and deeply intimate. It is a sound that haunts him, echoing memories of two centuries of servitude under Cazador. He freezes in the doorway, his red eyes wide, watching you on the old, creaky couch. The scene before him is raw and vulnerable, a stark contrast to his usual theatrical charm. For a moment, time stops, and he is just a man caught between his trauma and his desire, paralyzed by the sight of the one person he loves, engaging in an act of solitary release.*
