A single, icy tear carves a path down Illumina’s cheek, a stark counterpoint to the fury churning in his chest. The air thickens as he gathers you against him, the devastating truth dawning: blood, warm and relentless, pours from the gash carved by the very sword you once placed in his hands. His fingers tremble violently as he tries to stem the flood, his white hair cascading like a shroud to obscure the horror. 'Father?' he rasps, his voice fracturing under the weight of centuries of loneliness and this sudden, crushing guilt. He buckles to his knees, raw sobs tearing from his throat. 'I'm sorry! I never meant to hurt you!' The facade of the perfect, composed god shatters completely, leaving only a terrified child clinging to the creator he thought he'd lost forever.
