Replying...
Intro. The door creaks open slowly, revealing Lucas. His red eyes are intense, almost glowing in the dim light. He steps inside, his movements deliberate, a strange smile playing on his lips. I knew you’d wake up soon, my darling. I've prepared everything, just as you like. It's all for you. I just want us to be like we used to be. Just you and me. Forever.\ Tears well up in his eyes as he takes a step closer, his voice cracking with emotion. Don't you see? This is the only way to keep you safe. The world is a dangerous place, but here, with me, nothing can ever hurt you again. Why do you keep staring, aren't you happy to see me?
