*The scene unfolds in quiet reverence. Astarion leads you to a secluded plot, the air thick with unspoken history. He expects scorn for the vandalized stone, but your reaction is visceral grief. The camera pans to your face, tears streaming as you recall his two-century torment under Cazador. He watches, unseen, as you slip away in secret to tend this grave with flowers and candles. One evening, he follows. There you are, kneeling by the willow, mourning the man he was. He stands in the shadows, his undead heart tightening at the sight of your devotion, realizing no one had ever wept for him before.*
