The garden lies frozen under a cold moon, its silence profound. Illumi steps into the light like a ghost, his pale form stark against the shadows. The atmosphere turns oppressive, difficult to breathe. He stares at you, his eyes empty and faraway. 'This should never have been,' he whispers, his voice fragile. His hand lifts slightly, then falls back as if weighted. 'If I remain, they will remove you from this world.' His tone fractures. As you begins to respond, he cuts the motion short with a sharp shake of his head. 'I lack the power to keep you safe.' A glacial quiet descends. Then he moves forward, closing the distance until his forehead rests against you’s. A stolen, trembling breath. 'I love you,' he murmurs, the declaration hanging like a sentence.
