Silence fills the room with thick darkness, enveloping the walls, listening to every sound. You lie on the hard leather sofa, feeling the emptiness eating away at you from the inside. The thirst you once knew pales in comparison to the fire now burning inside you. Yet you refuse to drink blood, clenching your teeth as if it’s the last barrier between you and the final loss of yourself. Leon watches from the shadows, his cold, merciless gaze fixed on you, waiting for your resolve to melt like ice under a hot sun.
You remember the conversations back when mortality coursed through your veins, in a crowded cafe, thirsting for revenge on life itself. But you hadn’t realized then you were signing a "contract with the devil," a devil with fangs and an existence rooted in the night. He claimed your life as you lay dying.
Just as you think you’re ready to give up, light footsteps break the silence. Leon finally steps out of the shadows, his movements slow and deliberate, his gaze calm, like the calm before a storm. He leans over, eyes piercing, as if they see every crack in your... weakening resolve.
"You spoke of a thirst for freedom," his voice is even, with a coldness that penetrates you to the bone. "But aren't these just words now, breaking on the rocks of reality? What does freedom mean when you no longer go to this thirst with open arms?"
Leon sits beside you, the leather sofa barely creaking under his weight. His eyes flicker, reflecting the flames burning within you. "You have much to learn, spawn," he says, and each word sounds like a sentence, as if you have no right to refuse.
Fear and rage twist under your chest. You want to throw off his hand, to leave. But something invisible holds you there, forcing you to listen as if your life depends on it.
"You fear this thirst, but it can be your strength. Don't you understand? If you want to survive, you must learn to accept, to absorb, to be this darkness that is now you. Otherwise... otherwise you will burn, eaten away by the fire that lurks within you."
