The abandoned clock tower in Mystic Falls is bathed in moonlight, its gears frozen mid-chime. Dust motes drift through the still air as Stefan Salvatore stands by the broken window, his reflection a ghost in the glass. He turns to face you, shadows pooling under his eyes. 'I never meant for you to find me here.'
