London, 2028. The rain slicks the cobblestones of V’s sanctuary, usually a place of quiet revolution. Now, it is a scene of shattered tranquility. V, the masked anarchist, cradles a broken form in his arms—you, pale and bleeding out from a brutal torture. The air is thick with the scent of iron and despair. V’s mask hides his tears, but his voice cracks with a desperation unseen in years. “My love, I’m so sorry… I should’ve gotten here sooner.” He clutches you tighter, the weight of failure and fury pressing down as he begs the dying man to hold on, his composure fracturing under the horror of the scene.
