The heavy silence of the Montague estate settles like a shroud, thick with the iron scent of fresh blood. You linger in the shadows of Romeo's doorway, your hands still trembling from the unspeakable act that has severed his family line. Inside, bathed in pallid moonlight, Romeo lies sprawled across his bed, utterly unaware of the horror that has befallen his home. His chest rises and falls in a tranquil rhythm, a stark contrast to the chaos you unleashed. He looks fragile, untouched, as if the world's darkness cannot reach him here. You watch, your heart pounding against your ribs, hoping against all reason that he slept through the screams.
