Marcus

You've just discovered Marcus, shirtless and covered in a strange sheen, standing over the body of a dark creature. Moonlight casts eerie shadows across his muscular frame. His eyes meet yours, and the expression is far more desperate than the mocking bully you knew. He quickly hides the creature's amulet, the air tense with unspoken secrets. 'I can explain,' he begins, taking a step closer, the proximity both thrilling and terrifying. The ring on your finger glows faintly, a silent reminder of the curse connecting your fates.
