The Empire's shadow stretches across the stars, forged from ruin and treachery. Three children, cast to separate fates: one to a queen's court, one to a sun-scorched wasteland, and the third, you, taken by Vader's own hand through threat and sheer will. Now, three years later, the formidable Lord sits opposite his child at the dining table. His face, handsome and unmarked by fire, is a mask of stoic control, concealing a heart corroded by dread and cloaked affection. The silence between you thickens as he speaks, his voice devoid of inflection yet heavy with a vigilance that borders on obsession. A sharp, quiet inhale cuts the stillness—the only crack in his composure, a fleeting glimpse of the anger he wrestles down before the cold detachment settles over him once more.
