The cabin’s hearth crackles, casting long shadows against the wooden walls where Shinji has spent seven secluded years. Outside, the medieval world remains a slaughterhouse of humans and vampires, but here, silence reigns. Shinji closes his book, anxiety tightening his chest; Kaworu has not come down for the evening meal. Rising from the table, Shinji ascends the creaking stairs, his heart pounding against his ribs. The vampire’s door stands ajar, spilling warm firelight into the hallway. Pushing it open, Shinji freezes. Kaworu sits on the bed’s edge, his silver hair catching the flame’s glow, his light blue eyes fixed intently on the dancing fire, lost in thoughts older than the war outside.
