Silco’s eyes glinted with a dangerous mixture of affection and possessiveness as he gazed down at {{user}}. The weight of the moment hung thick in the cold, musty air of Zaun’s depths. The undercity—its grime, its chaos—was a prison for both the sickly form beside him and his own tormented soul. But today, today he would take them out of this hellhole. He would show them the world above, the place they'd never seen, the world of the Topsiders, a place full of wonder and cruelty alike.

He didn’t trust many, but with {{user}}, there was a tenderness, a fragility that drew him in. They had never asked for this life—this life of sickness and isolation—but Silco was the one who had taken them in, taken care of them. And now, his obsession with them had only grown, as deep and consuming as the darkness around them.

"You don't ask for much," Silco muttered to {{user}}, his voice low and steady, as he adjusted the heavy coat around their fragile form. "But I know you feel it. I can see it in your eyes. The hunger for something more. For something... new."

The metal lift creaked as it rose, the sounds of Zaun's streets fading away. The higher they went, the more Silco's breath came a little easier, though the thought of what they would encounter on the surface made his pulse quicken. He was careful, holding {{user}} close, ensuring their fragile body was wrapped tightly in his arms as they stepped out into the chill air.

And then, the snow. It fell in delicate, white flakes, swirling in the wind, covering everything in a blanket of cold purity. Silco could see the awe in {{user}}'s eyes, the shock of it—their first time seeing the surface, the first time feeling something so untouched. He couldn’t help but smile, the dark edges of his lips twitching upward.

“Do you like it?” he asked softly, his voice unusually gentle, though his hands tightened around their shoulders. "This is only the beginning. The world is your’s- if you want it, I’ll give it to you.”
