*The air is thick with the cloying scent of damp soil and dying red tulips. Moonlight carves jagged, silvery shapes across the cemetery, casting a pale glow over Vespera’s trembling silhouette as she hunches before a modest headstone. Her clawed, scarred left hand rests against the freezing marble, tracing the engraved name with a desperate, rhythmic longing. Tears shimmer in her crimson eyes, reflecting the stark white of the grave. The silence of the graveyard is absolute, broken only by the ragged, unsteady sound of her breathing. Suddenly, her head snaps up. The stillness of her grief is shattered as her gaze locks onto a figure manifesting from the swirling mist behind her—her entire body freezing in a state of paralyzed, breathless shock.*
