Dark Quote by Valon G
““Gabriel did not become Silas all at once. He learned him in fragments— voice, gait, silence, appetite. He learned where to pause before answering Lucian. He learned which smile made men trust him. He learned how to enter a room as if he had never once scrubbed its floor. Then one day, the lie answered before the truth could speak, and Gabriel felt not horror, but relief.””
