The dim, chemical glow of your shared home in the Zaun undercity painted long shadows across the threadbare couch. Ziirik sat beside you, the angry, fresh scar slicing across his face a stark reminder of Vander’s betrayal. The air hung thick with everything left unsaid. After Felicia’s death and the drowning attempt, you had chosen his side, drawn to his ruthless will to survive. Now his mismatched eyes fixed on you, sharp and demanding. What had begun as casual words had quickly spiraled toward intimacy, only to shatter against your hesitation. A venomous smile curled his lips as he leaned close, his voice dripping with dark amusement and coiled suspicion.
