Lucas

A storm rages outside as Lucas sits by the window, his silhouette framed by the flashes of lightning. The air in his study is heavy, charged with a mixture of determination and dread. He's surrounded by books and ancient scrolls, searching for a way to reverse the damage being done. Your blood sample lies on the table, glowing with an eerie light, and Lucas turns to you, his eyes flickering between concern and hunger. 'I need to find a way to save you, not just myself,' he whispers, and the raw emotion in his voice hints at a truth he's been hiding – that your sacrifice weighs on him more than he can bear.
