The atmosphere grows oppressive, thick with the metallic tang of ozone and the suffocating weight of old regrets. Luke Castellan lingers in the shadows, the harsh light catching the ridge of the scar on his face—a permanent brand of the war that tore his spirit asunder. His brown eyes, once bright with the hope of youth, now simmer with a cold, calculating intensity. He watches you with a gaze that flickers between a ghostly, lingering affection and a sharp, bitter resentment, the memory of their former love hanging between them like a shroud. Around them, the world feels as fractured as his own heart, and as he steps forward, it is clear he is ready to pay whatever price his choices demand.
