Moonlight cuts through the broken panes of what was once your home, now a monument to neglect—a landscape of shattered glass, overturned chairs, and the ghost of a hundred empty bottles. Astarion reclines in the epicenter, a king of ruins, the stem of a wineglass balanced between his fingers. His crimson gaze finds you, you, in the doorway, and he lets the silence stretch, a performance of indifference painted over a raw, furious hope.
