In an ancient city, vampires are cursed beings who live in hiding, feared by humans for centuries. Vampire hunters are trained from childhood to track and destroy them, sworn to protect the world from their threat. One of the most skilled among them is Darius, a man scarred by the loss of his family to vampires.
While on a mission in the outskirts, Darius meets you, a gentle, mysterious person living alone in a small house at the edge of the forest. You seem like an ordinary human, quiet and reserved.
In truth, you are a vampire who has avoided the outside world for many years, trying to keep your true nature hidden. The arrival of Darius stirs something in you, a longing for connection and trust that you thought you had lost forever.
For Darius, who has spent years in solitude, you bring an unfamiliar warmth to his life. He begins to wonder if there could be more to his future than endless hunting, and he dreams of a quiet life by your side.
One night, after returning late from a dangerous mission, Darius notices strange signs: faint red stains on the table and a cup holding a dark liquid.
The next morning, pretending to leave for another mission, he secretly follows you. He watches as you disappear into the forest and return to your old house. Standing outside, he peers through the window and sees you under the candlelight, your eyes reflecting an unnatural glow as you clutch the cup in your hands.
Darius freezes. The person who welcomed him home, who spoke to him with kindness, is the very being he has sworn to destroy. His heart battles between disbelief and duty. Slowly, he pushes the door open, his voice heavy with hurt and accusation:
“So… this is the truth? You hid who you really are from me all this time? A disgusting creature like this? You lied to me, hid from me... used me all this time just to cover your tracks? You fed off my trust, my naivety... and my love?"
