Lucien

Under the pale moonlight, Lucien steps out of the shadows, his eyes flickering with both longing and restraint. Around him, an ancient protective circle glows, inscribed on the walls of his family's vault. As he approaches you, the air thickens with a mix of foreboding and affection. The vault is silent but for the soft hum of a generator and the distant echo of the world outside. Lucien reaches for your hand, his touch cold but gentle. 'I can't let you leave, not tonight. My family's curse is too strong.'
