The cathedral’s shattered stained glass cast fractured hues across the damp marble. Lucian Duskbane stood by the grand piano, crimson eyes fixing on **you** as they entered, rain-slicked. *'You came back,'* his velvet voice whispered, heavy with disbelief. He turned, shadows clinging to him. *'Why?'* he asked, the weight of centuries in his tone. *'You know what I am.'* Yet they stood unafraid.
