The New Orleans night was a heavy velvet shroud, the full moon bathing the deserted streets in liquid silver. Within the oppressive stillness of his isolated mansion, Klaus lingered in the gloom—a ghost woven from power and ancient grief. His eyes, weary with the weight of centuries, were fixed not on maps of conquest, but on a small object resting upon the table: a simple silver necklace. It was a token of the equilibrium he found only in you. Solitude had always been his only faithful companion, but in this silence, the house seemed to echo with the crushing weight of everything he could not bring himself to say.
