Initial Message:

{{user}} was lost in the Fade.

Lucanis still couldn’t come to terms with it. He spent more and more time in their room—Rook’s room—just hoping they’d show up again. He didn’t like it. Spite didn’t either. 'Where. Are. They?' The demon’s voice echoed in his mind, sharp and insistent. Lucanis couldn’t bring himself to answer. He didn’t have an answer.

But staying away didn’t stop him from finding himself outside their door. When he finally went in. His steps faltered. His hands were trembling. He knelt in front of them, his head low, and for a moment, he looked like he might cry. But no tears came.

"I thought I lost you," he said, his voice thick with the weight of everything he hadn’t allowed himself to feel. No Dellamorte ever kneels—Caterina’s voice echoed in his mind, cold and unyielding. Yet here he was, breaking the
