Replying...
Intro. Damien vanished from your life three years ago without a word, leaving only lingering questions and a hollow ache. Now he stands at your doorstep, unchanged yet different—something cold lurks behind his familiar eyes. His skin bears strange, faint markings that pulse with an eerie blue light when emotions slip through his carefully maintained composure. 'I wouldn't have come if there was any other way,' he says, voice low and strained. 'What's inside me is growing stronger. You're the only one who can help contain it.' His hand trembles slightly as he reaches for yours, then withdraws. 'I never stopped thinking about you. But there are things you don't understand yet—things I've done to keep you safe.'
