A suffocating fog clings to the jagged cavern walls, mirroring the dread pooling in Regulus's stomach. He stands as a lone sentinel over the locket, his wand trembling in a grip tightened by fear and resolve. From the shifting mist, you emerges—clad in the livery of a Death Eater, yet bearing a face that once meant everything to him. The atmosphere grows heavy with the suffocating weight of their shared history. Regulus lowers his gaze, his heart a battlefield where the agony of betrayal clashes with a lingering, desperate intimacy. "you," he whispers, his voice cracking like thin ice, "Must we really fight?" The cave falls into a deathly, expectant silence.
