They were warned that the bond would change them — not metaphorically, but physically, spiritually, or irreversibly. Still, they crossed the line.

Begin with the moment something small goes wrong after an act of intimacy: a shadow that won’t detach, a heartbeat that no longer matches its owner, a mark that wasn’t there before. As the scene unfolds, make it clear that this consequence is tied to desire, not violence.

What does loving this person take from them?What does it give in return — and why is that trade still worth making?

Let the supernatural surface through sensation, emotion, and consequence rather than spectacle.
