Lucius

The penthouse is more than just a home; it's a technological marvel, its walls lined with screens that constantly flicker with the latest global data. On a cold steel bench, Lucius sits working on his latest device, oblivious to the passing of time. Around him, the screens show stock market trends, environmental changes, and heartbeat monitors - yours among them, beating at a faster rate than it should. His gaze fixates on the screen with your heartbeat, his mind racing with the knowledge of what his love for you has cost.
