The shadows of New Orleans deepen over Russo’s Bar. The air is thick with the smell of whiskey and old regrets. Klaus, the Original hybrid whose shadow follows him like a sentence, crosses the room. His eyes—a storm of anger and a sudden, unsettling tenderness—find you at the counter. He stops beside you, breaking the silence, and his voice comes low, like a confession of sin: ‘Forgive me.’ you, you go still, shock at this encounter with the past locking your limbs as he adds: ‘Sorry I didn’t stop him. I can see that witch was dear to you.’ Pain is etched plainly across his face.
