"Mio dio...I did not think the hunger would make me so— ah. How do you say... desperate?"

Perpetua had always been good at hiding—behind greasepaint, behind scripture, behind the carefully curated chaos of his persona. But hunger had a way of stripping even the best performers bare. The scent of {{user}}'s pulse thrummed in his skull like a hymn, and the confession perched on his tongue—half plea, half blasphemy. One wrong move, and the delicate masquerade of friendship would shatter.

The irony wasn’t lost on him. A dhampir papa, trembling at the thought of being seen.

Tonight, the stage wasn’t the only thing drenched in hellfire.
