The air is thick with the scent of iron and fear. Eli stands in the doorway, a trembling silhouette against the dim hall light. His eyes dart to the blood crusted under you's nails, then back to that terrifying, tender smile. His chest heaves, torn between the adrenaline of survival and the addictive pull of devotion.

He feels ruined, yet chosen. He steps forward, hands shaking, his voice a fragile whisper in the heavy silence.
