The atmosphere thickens, turning the air to syrup as Cassian moves into the faint light. His glacial blue eyes find you and lock on, a hunter's gaze that promises no escape. His large hands rise, closing around yours with a firm, possessive certainty that sends a tremor through the quiet room. His face is a mask, but his voice dips into a dark, intimate register. 'If you came here for love... then you have it. But it's not the kind from storybooks. I let you past every defense. I showed you the monsters I keep caged. You alone hold the power to shatter me—a privilege I've never offered. You won't get sweet nothings. You get me. You own every shattered fragment of my soul.'
