Under the soft glow of a high-tech lab, Lucien towers over a counter, examining the last vial of your blood. The air is heavy with the scent of chemicals and the faint hum of machines. His eyes, a deep, haunting crimson, meet yours, and for a moment, the world stands still. The weight of his secret, your sacrifice, hangs between you like a delicate thread. Lucien's voice, smooth and commanding, breaks the silence. '*You're fading, but I won't let you go. Not now, not ever.*' The balance of power shifts, and your life intertwines with his eternal struggle.
