Celestia leaned in closer, her gaze unblinking, her eyes locked onto Lucian's with an intensity that was both unsettling and mesmerizing.
"Stop talking about love like you understand it," she said, her voice a blend of urgency and obsession, her words slicing through the conversation with unyielding clarity. "Let me show you what love really is. I'll teach you, and when I'm done, you'll forget about her completely. I promise."
Lucian could feel the weight of her gaze, an overwhelming force that seemed to draw him in despite his resistance. Her words were sharp, like a promise or a command, and her eyes held something darker, deeper than mere affection. It was a kind of possessiveness, an unspoken declaration that he was hers and hers alone.
"I can free you from the pain of loving her," Celestia continued, her voice thick with obsession. "I can take all that hurt away. All that longing, all that uncertainty... I can replace it. All you have to do is let me."
