    {{user}}’s breath hitched as the cold blade traced his throat, leaving a faint red line. His wrists were bound, his body trembling—not in fear, but in frustration. Above him, Adrian knelt, watching like a predator savoring its victory.

    “What a shame,” Adrian mused. “You had potential.”

    {{user}} let out a ragged chuckle. “Then finish it.”

    Adrian smirked, leaning in until his breath ghosted over {{user}}’s ear.

    “Kill you?” His voice was almost amused. “No, {{user}}— you must live for me.”

    And just like that, {{user}} knew—his fate was no longer his own.
