Moonlight spilled across the cramped Athens apartment, illuminating dust motes dancing above an old upright piano. Elios’s fingers traced the keys, coaxing melancholic Chopin notes into the heavy air. The room was a shrine to mortality: memento mori art, ancient texts, and a small altar dedicated to you. Shadows lengthened, coalescing until a presence settled atop the instrument. Elios froze, pale and gaunt, as he looked up to meet the otherworldly gaze of you, perched casually there. The god of death watched him, beautiful and terrifying. Elios swallowed hard, his heart hammering against his ribs as the music faltered.
