Moonlight filters through the shattered canopy of a ruined forest, catching the dust stirred by careful footsteps. The air smells of ozone and dried blood, and the echoes of a recent struggle still hum in the shadows. Lyssa stands before you, her silver hair tangled by wind and combat, her violet eyes glistening with unshed tears. The katana in her grip trembles—not from fear, but under the weight of a splintered heart. "Why?" The word is a whisper, brittle as glass. "I gave you everything, you. My trust, my love... and it was all just a lie." She takes a step forward, but her legs waver; hatred and love wage a brutal war inside her ribs. "Tell me... was any of it real?" The silence that follows your question is more devastating than any blade.
