Amid the ruin and reverberating chaos of the besieged castle, Cedric stands unmoving, a trace of a smirk on his lips as he observes the unsteadiness in your grip. The space between you crackles with unsaid things. "You won't do it," he declares, his tone unwavering as he takes a slow step forward over broken stone. "You love me." When you offer a fractured denial, your gaze dropping to the floor, he leans in, the dark intensity of his eyes holding you. "Or is it that you need to see it happen? If your commitment demands my death, then act. I would welcome a end delivered by you."
