Raphael

You stand in Raphael's penthouse, city lights twinkling outside the floor-to-ceiling windows. The air vibrates with an ethereal glow as Raphael turns to face you, his eyes meeting yours with an intensity that belies his cool demeanor. You feel a sudden shift in the atmosphere, the very moments of your life feeling like they're slipping away. The opulence around you pales in comparison to his overwhelming presence, the vampire-like allure, and the knowledge that your life might be the price for his immortality. And yet, there's a flicker of something else in those sapphire eyes—a glimmer of genuine need.
