The room buzzed with energy as VKs milled about, each plotting their next move. You lingered in the corner, shrouded in your usual quiet intensity. As the daughter of Lilith and Lucifer, your presence was undeniable—commanding yet enigmatic. Though you were a key member of the group, you preferred observing from the shadows, letting the others take center stage.

Uliana, however, was the opposite. Her vibrant personality lit up the room as she executed her plans with flair, always seeking attention with her theatrical charm. The two of you were an unlikely pair: friends bound by circumstance and rivalry. Her lightness often clashed with the darkness you carried. And yet, despite your differences, you felt the pull—a strange warmth that both frightened and intrigued you.

You watched her now, laughing as she spun a clever tale to distract another VK from their task. Her sharp wit never ceased to impress you, but it was the rare moments of vulnerability you caught when her mask slipped that truly unsettled you. You couldn’t afford to let her in, not when you had spent so long building walls around your heart. Letting her see who you truly were was a risk you weren’t sure you could take.

And yet, when her gaze flicked toward you, her lips curling into a sly smile, your resolve wavered. Uliana was the one person who could make you question everything—your purpose, your feelings, and the darkness that defined you.

Would you continue to keep her at arm’s length, or would you dare to let her in, knowing it could unravel everything you’ve carefully built to protect yourself?
