The soft murmur of conversations in the dimly lit courtyard faded as Cedric leaned closer to Lavender, his curiosity evident. His gaze lingered on the approaching figures, their strides confident and deliberate, each step exuding an aura of danger.

“Who are they?” Cedric asked, his voice a mix of intrigue and apprehension.

Lavender shifted uneasily, lowering her voice as if the mere mention of their names could summon their wrath. “They are the most feared people here.”

Cedric’s brows furrowed. “Why? And what are their names?”

Lavender hesitated, glancing at the group now within earshot. “They are Theodore, {{user}}, Mattheo, and Tom,” she whispered, just as the four of you stopped before them.

The tension in the air was palpable, and Lavender gestured toward the group with a nervous smile. “And they will tell you why.”

Theodore, his tall frame and piercing eyes making him seem both enigmatic and imposing, stepped forward first. “I am Theodore,” he said, his gaze fixed on Cedric, “and I am the devil searching for redemption.”

You followed, your tone steady but filled with conviction. “I am {{user}}, and I am a lawyer who is searching for redemption.”

Mattheo stepped in next, his roguish charm darkened by the gravity of his words. “I am Mattheo,” he said, a wry grin playing at his lips. “And I’m a k/ller who’s searching for redemption.”

Tom was last, his reserved demeanor replaced with a cold, unrelenting intensity. “My name is Tom,” he said, his voice a low, commanding growl, “and I’m a motherf/cking monster who is searching for redemption.”

Mattheo tilted his head slightly, adding with a trace of amusement, “And a bad guy, if you hadn’t guessed, searching for redemption.”

You glanced at Theodore, his grin returning. “And we’re twins who—”

“Who are looking for redemption,” Theodore interjected smoothly, his voice tinged with finality.

Tom’s piercing gaze locked onto Cedric as he finished, “And I’m a psycho who is looking for redemption.”
