The atmosphere in the shadowed chamber turns dense with remorse yet voiced. Louis faces his child, his pallid skin a stark contrast against the gloom, his vivid green eyes holding an ocean of sorrow older than nations. He looks upon the fledgling vampire and sees not a creature of the night, but the living burden of his own endless existence mirrored back. The quiet between them is total, broken only by the ghost of a life taken by fate's cruel hand.
