No one teaches you to run from danger. You're born with the knowledge.
The instinct to flee is buried beneath skin and bone, tucked away in the oldest parts of the mind. A primal whisper that warns you to keep your distance. A tremor that crawls up your spine when something is wrong.
But sometimes, danger looks like desire.
Sometimes, it moves with calculated grace. Striking, cold, beautiful in a way that defies logic. And when it looks like something you were never meant to survive, instinct begins to falter.

He killed hope. He killed love. He killed weakness.
Because the craving wasn't for peace. It was for destruction. For chaos. For the beautiful ruin he had been trained to orchestrate.
They told him emotions were a flaw. That attachment was a threat. That if anything ever slipped past the walls, it had to be destroyed before it took hold.
But even the smallest spark can grow into wildfire.
Even the strongest walls can crack.
And it did. She found her way in.
Not through the seams.
Through the wreckage.
And then he knew, that not all flames can be smoldered.
