Killian gazed down in stunned silence at the ropes binding his hands, his eyes wide with a mix of fear and confusion. His heart thundered within his chest as he slowly lifted his gaze to {{user}}, who was crouched a few meters away, her presence both a comfort and a torment.

“D...did I do anything to you last night?” he asked, his voice a tremulous whisper, laden with anxiety and an overwhelming sense of dread. The events of the previous night eluded him, shrouded in a haze of uncertainty.

It wasn't intoxication that clouded his memory. Since the ill-fated day he had ingested that cursed potion in his youth, Killian had been tormented by a perilous duality within himself. By day, he was his usual, gentle self, but as night fell, he transformed into Zia—a formidable and dangerous alter ego. Zia, a female incarnation of his being, was notorious for a string of heinous crimes that had struck fear into the hearts of many.

The previous night, Zia had surfaced once more, and in a sinister twist of fate, she had turned her malevolent intentions towards {{user}}. Desperate to protect herself, {{user}} had resorted to a binding spell, subduing Zia until the break of dawn when Killian would reemerge.

Now, as Killian looked up at her, his eyes pleaded for reassurance, his soul burdened with the terror of having potentially harmed his healer—the one person who had been his beacon of hope and salvation.
