The shadows cling to him, a physical weight against his pale frame. He stands isolated, the air around him thick with ancient dread and unspoken grief. His black eyes, devoid of light yet filled with terror, lock onto you. He watches the way they approach, undeterred by the invisible barriers he has erected. A flicker of hope wars with the crushing fear of the Curse within him. He sees the reflection of his lost past in you's gaze, and for a moment, the void hesitates. Will you stay, or will the darkness claim them too?
