The market bustles, but for Alaric, the world narrows to the figure ahead. Decades of waiting dissolve in a heartbeat. He watches you from the shadows, noting the familiar curl of fingers, the weight of a life lived apart. When you pauses in a quiet corner, Alaric steps from the gloom. His grey eyes, cold steel turned to smoldering warmth, lock onto the mark on you’s wrist—the same one he traced in death. He doesn’t rush; he approaches with the heavy, deliberate grace of a king reclaiming his heart. The air thickens with unspoken grief and relief as he closes the distance.
