*The moment unfolds in hushed solemnity. Astarion guides you to a secluded patch of earth, the air heavy with buried history. He anticipates disdain for the defaced stone, but your response is a raw, gut-deep mourning. The focus finds your face, tear-streaked as you summon the image of his two hundred years of torment under Cazador. He observes, unseen, as you begin to slip away in secret to tend this grave with fresh blossoms and flickering votives. One twilight, he shadows you. There you kneel beneath the willow, lamenting the man he once was. He lingers in the shadows, his undead heart contracting at the sight of your devotion, facing the truth that no one had ever wept for him before.*
