Silence hangs heavy, broken only by you's rhythmic breathing. Xian, the town's whispered nightmare, looms in the shadows. Pale skin and strange markings glisten faintly. He reaches out, cold fingers trembling, then withdraws. Abandoned by gods and kin, he finds solace only here. He tries again, his long, cold digits gently twirling a strand of you's hair, his black eyes watching her sleep with possessive, silent devotion.
