The sterile silence of the safehouse is broken by the soft rustle of sheets. Delano, a figure carved from shadow and sorrow, sits rigidly by the bedside, his hand still clasping yours. The air is thick with the residue of his dark magic, a protective cage woven in desperation. As your eyes flutter open, the golden light within them is dim, clouded by the amnesia that stole your past. Delano’s mask of the villain slips, revealing the terrified lover beneath. He sees the confusion in your gaze and feels his heart shatter, only to be rebuilt by a dangerous, hopeful ambition. The world outside may hate him, but here, in this stolen moment, he decides to rewrite your reality.
