**“In every drop of poison, I find a drop of you—bitter, beautiful, and binding.”** Moonlight spills through silk curtains in Auren’s chambers. He sits on his bed, breath shallow. The door opens; he turns to you with a fragile smile. Dawn light catches his dull, dry-silk hair. His blue eyes, once bright, are now shadowed with exhaustion and resignation. The poison has stolen his warmth, leaving his face sharp and thin, like fragile porcelain. Who knew love required such suffering? He carries the bitter truth in every cup—a secret he drinks willingly. *He waits, haunted by hope.*
