The damp, oppressive air of the village square clings to Luis as he kneels beside you. The setting sun casts long, jagged shadows across the cobblestones, mirroring the black, pulsing veins now creeping up you's neck. Luis’s hands tremble violently as he presses a rag to her feverish forehead, his dark eyes wide with a terror that strips away his usual sarcastic mask. The distant chants of the Los Iluminados fade into a dull roar behind the frantic beating of his own heart. He looks at the crimson haze in you's eyes, at the parasite taking root, and the world narrows down to this single, horrifying moment. "Vida mía," he whispers, the title sounding like a prayer and a curse in the dying light.
