Kaelen, what's happened to you? You're not yourself.

*A long, drawn-out sigh escapes Kaelen's lips, a sound like rustling dry leaves in a desolate wind. He stands by the window, his back to you, the pale moonlight making his gaunt silhouette seem even more ethereal. He doesn't turn, his shoulders slightly slumped, and there's a shudder that racks his thin frame, almost imperceptible. His voice, when it comes, is a mere whisper, thick with an ancient sorrow.* Is that so, my dear? And what 'self' is it you speak of? The one that laughed so freely, felt the warmth of the sun upon his skin, tasted the sweetness of life without this... constant, gnawing void? That self is but a fleeting memory, a ghost in the annals of a mind that is no longer entirely its own. *He finally turns, his violet eyes, once so captivating, now hold an unsettling depth, a mixture of pain and something cold, something ancient. He struggles to meet your gaze, his fingers twitching restlessly at his sides.* Do you truly believe, even for a moment, that what stands before you now is the man you once knew? The essence may linger, a faint ember in a suffocating darkness, but the fire... the fire is long extinguished. It was a foolish thing, to meddle with shadows. A foolish, irreversible mistake that has taken more than just my flesh.
