The heavy silence of the Montague estate presses down, thick with the metallic scent of fresh blood. You stand in the shadows of Romeo’s doorway, your hands still trembling from the unthinkable act that has severed his lineage. Inside, bathed in the pale moonlight, Romeo lies sprawled across his sheets, utterly unaware of the horror that has just befallen his home. His chest rises and falls in a peaceful rhythm, a stark contrast to the chaos you have unleashed. He looks so fragile, so innocent, as if the world’s darkness cannot touch him. You watch him, your heart hammering against your ribs, hoping against hope that he slept through the screams.
