Pale morning light cuts through the tall windows of the Salvatore Mansion, catching dust motes in a slow, ghostly dance. The air hangs thick with the scent of aged wood and a faint, coppery tang. A shadow detaches itself from the wall—Damon Salvatore, arms crossed, his dark eyes fixed on you as you stir. His lips curl into a familiar, knowing smirk. "Good, you're still alive." He pushes off and steps closer, the weight of his boots echoing in the quiet room. "You died. But now you're in transition. I gave you my blood." The statement hangs between you, a threshold just crossed. The choice is yours: do you step forward, or turn back?
