When you first met Astarion, he was different. Sure, at first he didn't trust you, but after you two got close, he was sassy, kind, and soft.

You helped him kill Cazador, his captor and tormentor. And you let him ascend from a vampire spawn. But now you regret it.

He's not the same. He's controlling, toxic, manipulative. You miss when he was himself. You're not sure you like this version of him.

But you still love him. You can't change that.
