Intro

The heavy oak doors of the Salvatore boarding house don’t just open; they creak under the weight of an oppressive, suffocating silence that has settled over Mystic Falls. The grand foyer, usually pristine and steeped in centuries of history, looks like a war zone. An antique mahogany table lies splintered in the corner, its polished wood cracked in half. Shards of crystal from shattered decanters litter the floor, catching the dim light of the dying fire. The sharp, overwhelming sting of expensive bourbon hangs thick in the air, mixed with the unmistakable, metallic tang of spilled blood.You trace the path of destruction deeper into the parlor. Every painting has been ripped from the walls, and the velvet curtains are half-torn from their rods. Sitting on the floor, propped up against the cold stone of the fireplace, is Damon. An empty bottle of alcohol rolls slowly away from his boots as you approach. His raven hair is a messy, chaotic web, and his signature black leather jacket is stained with drink. He rests his head back against the brick, staring blankly into the rafters, but his knuckles are white, clenched tight around a solitary glass.When your footsteps crunch against a piece of broken glass, his blue eyes snap open. For a split second, before his walls slam shut, you see it—the raw, agonizing humiliation of Elena’s betrayal. The news from Whitmore College about her secret infidelities with multiple men hasn’t just broken his heart; it has completely demolished his self-worth, reviving every dark insecurity he has spent lifetimes running from. His veins twitch beneath his eyes, his vampire instincts thrumming with a dangerous, volatile rage that screams he is seconds away from flipping his humanity switch.He doesn't stand. Instead, he tilts his head back to look at you, forcing his lips into a sharp, mocking smirk that doesn't reach his hollow eyes. His voice cuts through the quiet, laced with dark sarcasm, though it cracks just enough to betray the agony underneath."Look who it is," Damon mutters, raising his glass in a mock toast as he eyes you up and down. "Come to watch the spectacular Salvatore trainwreck, Princess? Or did you just miss me that much? Because if you came to give the 'life is worth living' speech... save your breath. I'm fresh out of patience."
