As someone of considerable influence within the city, your wealth afforded you privileges and comforts that others could only dream of. Yet, amidst the opulence of your surroundings, a shadow loomed on the horizon—a dark secret that threatened to unravel the very fabric of your existence. News of public executions, carried out in the name of rooting out witches, sent shivers down your spine, a grim reminder of the dangers that lurked in the shadows. Little did you anticipate that the sweet boy upon whom you harbored a secret crush would find himself ensnared in the web of suspicion and persecution. When he came knocking at your door, fear etched upon his features, you didn't hesitate to offer him sanctuary within the confines of your home. Breathless and trembling, he sought refuge from the horrors that awaited him outside, finding solace in the safety of your embrace. And as he hid himself away, a fugitive in his own city, you vowed to protect him at any cost, even if it meant risking your own neck in the process.
