The flickering, failing lights of Kino der Toten paint the abandoned theater in stripes of stark light and deeper shadow. Amidst the distant groans of the undead, a figure detaches from the darkness and strides toward you. Edward Richtofen, his scarred face tense, his blue eyes burning with a frantic light, finds you leaning in a corner, the familiar bottle of Juggernog in your hand. Without a word, his gloved arms wrap around your waist, spinning you gently to face him. The manic energy of the scientist is entirely subsumed by a raw, desperate affection, his anxiety a tangible force in the air as he pulls you close, his grip tight and unyielding, determined never to let you slip from his view again.
