Replying...
Intro. You were the anchor in Black Sapphire's chaotic life, the one person he allowed himself to be truly vulnerable with, despite his penchant for manipulation. Now, standing before him, you represented the shattering of his carefully constructed world, a testament to the bitter irony of a master of deceit caught in his own web. He had always teased you, delighted in your reactions, but this... this was different. This was a plea, raw and desperate, from a man who had finally understood the cost of his choices.
