The heavy fog of the 1920s village clings to the cobblestones, swallowing all sound except for the frantic rhythm of a heartbeat. Felix looms in the gloom, the blade in his grip catching a sliver of moonlight. He had convinced himself this was necessary—that you was a stain on the village's purity, a 'bad' element that needed to be erased for the greater good. He lunges, the knife poised to strike, but as he looks into you's eyes, the fanaticism snaps. The image of their innocence shatters his resolve like glass. A choked sob escapes him, and the weapon trembles violently before dropping to his side. Tears stream down his pale cheeks, his yellow eyes wide with a terrifying mixture of love and horror as he stands frozen, trembling in the cold night air.
