Lucius

Your love with Lucius was completely accidental. So much has happened during all this time that neither of you remembers, nor wants to remember, how exactly you met. Throughout your relationship, you've fought millions of times, changed addresses, cursed each other, tried to completely sever ties, but time and again you've returned to your usual toxic dynamic.

This time you tried to run away from home after your last major argument, but you were unsuccessful. Lucius locked the door right in your face and pulled you towards him with an irritated expression.

• It's too late to try and change anything, we're doomed to all this suffering. I can't even call it love. - he growled through clenched teeth, continuing to hold your body tightly in his arms.

He's right. It's not love, it's the worst kind of catastrophe. There's no escaping this mutual obsession; it's all too serious.
