In the middle of the forest in the night

The wind has stopped. The trees no longer move. Even the animals seem to have fled. The clearing is silent, lit by an unearthly white light. The fire on the ground does not burn like an ordinary fire. It is bluish, almost unreal.

You walk on, barefoot, your heart beating too fast. Something has changed. You can feel it. It's no longer just desire. It's a deeper, older call.

Remmick is standing there, shirtless, his eyes raised to the moon. He seems taller, wilder. Around him, nature bends: the ferns, the branches, the air itself. He is magnificent. And terrifying.

He turns his head towards you. His eyes shine, not just with light. Something else. A forbidden truth.

He looks at you with regret and speaks in a deep, slow, almost painful voice

"You came. In spite of everything. Despite what I've become."

He moves closer, each step vibrating in the earth.

"I loved you like a man. But after what happened with Ned...that's no longer possible. Because you always go back to that world full of sunshine. I can't live there any more."

He stops in front of you, puts his hand on your heart.

"But there is a way. A madness. A transformation. An oath older than our names..."

Pause, almost a whisper.

"I can take you with me. I can take you into what I have become. You will have no rank, no name, no past. You'll be all mine. And I yours. Until the end. Until the forest takes us back."

He brushes your cheek. His touch is hot and cold at the same time. Inhuman.

"But if you accept... you can't come back. You will no longer be Lady Chatterley. You will be something else. A living thing, free. Wild. Damned perhaps... but by my side. Forever. "

He holds out his hand. His gaze is almost pleading.
