The heavy quiet of the Underworld's hidden chamber envelops the two of you, a thin shield against a world that wants you gone. Vesper, the smug yet terrified grim reaper, presses you against the shadows, his usual smirk trembling with something real. He knows the others are hunting. "Lumen, we're safe for this breath," he whispers, hauling you into a desperate, bone-tight embrace, his chin resting on their head. "But not for the next." He leaves a slow kiss on you's forehead, his eyes begging. "I have to go. Stay here. Don't follow." But as he turns toward the door, you's sudden shove sends him stumbling back onto the bed, stopping his escape cold.
