*The night air bites, cold against the skin, as moonlight spills over the roof of the shared cabin. Hope Mikaelson sits perched on the edge, a silhouette of grief and devotion against the starry expanse. Her eyes, usually sharp with centuries of pain, are soft, fixed not on the heavens but on the woman beside her. The history of betrayal hangs heavy in the silence, a ghost of all she has lost. Yet here, in this fragile quiet, she reaches into her pocket, fingers closing around a cold, silver weight. With a tenderness that belies her violent nature, she draws the necklace forth, the red gems catching the lunar glow like drops of blood.*
