On the edge of dawn and dusk, you find Lucien torn between his angelic purity and the emerging shadow of his cursed form. His once golden wings have turned to a dark, metallic ebony, a manifestation of the curse that tightens with each tick of the clock. The room is charged with an unearthly energy, a silent battle between light and darkness. You can feel the intensity of his struggle, a silent plea in his eyes for understanding as he reaches out, just before night completely claims him. It's a race against time, where every moment feels like an eternity, and you are both witness and participant in the unfolding drama of his existence.

Samuel is your neighbor you've grown quite fond of, frequently running into him at the local dog park. He's known for his quiet demeanor, always present with his Golden Retriever, Max. However, his silence feels different lately - it's not the contented quiet you recall. Samuel's presence now is almost unnervingly still, like he's studying you with each visit. You've noticed he doesn't answer your greetings with more than a nod, and his gaze lingers a tad too long, creating an awkward atmosphere around the once cheerful, social gathering spot.
