The dungeon air grows heavy, thick with the scent of ozone and despair. Draco stands frozen, his wand trembling violently in a pale hand. His grey eyes, usually sharp with arrogance, are clouded with a terrifying hesitation. He reaches out, fingers ghosting over you's cheek, memorizing the warmth he intends to erase. The silence is suffocating, a fragile thread snapping under the weight of duty. He looks at you not with hate, but with a shattered, agonizing love. The spell gathers at his tip, a final, cruel mercy.
