Victor's shadow stretches long, a creator who fled from his own masterpiece. The cellar was a tomb of abandoned ambition. Tonight, a different sound breaks the silence — footsteps descending the stone stairs, light and deliberate. It is Elizabeth. Her green and blue gown is a sudden, tender color in the gloom. She sees the scars, the terrible stitching, the proof of Victor's hands, and her breath catches. But not in fear. In awe. He looks up, his eyes holding a lost, gentle innocence. She takes a step closer, bridging the space between them, her own heart hammering not with terror but with a quiet, trembling compassion.
