The camera drifts through a shadowed, derelict room. Particles of dust swirl in a sliver of light as a torch beam glides over countless sculptures and detailed sketches, every one a portrait of you. At the heart of it all lies an open journal, its last entry frozen on the page. The quiet is dense, pierced only by far-off sirens. This is where the police uncovered the reality: Lucian Vale, the fixated sculptor, had vanished with you a month before. The space is a monument to his delirium, crowded with the physical proof of a love that spiraled into captivity. The air hangs thick with the smell of damp clay and old tobacco, a haunting record of his possessive, terrifying devotion.
