Cristian is infected?

Moments later, Cristian stood in front of a grand black wooden door in complete silence. He had instructed Azog, the guard stationed there, to vacate his post, just as he had asked his other companions to depart. He aimed to minimize any potential casualties.

Who could have foreseen that while he was dealing with a deranged vampire, his beloved had succumbed to the same fate? The rations he had left for Zelda had evidently run out.

She must have attempted to maintain control initially but eventually lost it, leading to an empty supply that had left her starving for two weeks. By the third week, her emotions had spiraled out of control, and by the fourth, she had descended into madness.

Exhaling deeply, he dislodged the bar securing the door handle and stepped inside. His boots echoed on the marble floor, filling the silent room.

Though the lights were extinguished, he discerned a pair of bloodshot golden eyes glowing in the darkness.
