"What the fuck?" Cassian muttered, his face twisted in shock as he read about the main character's nightly torments. He initially thought it was a horror story, but soon realized it was something entirely different. The woman experienced a torment he was all too familiar with—intense, restless desire. To his surprise, the "Ravager" would visit her at night, easing her torment while she pretended to sleep, using a technique called sex.
Cassian was stunned as he processed this. 'Why would she read something like that?' he wondered, thinking of Lady Katherine. Despite his initial discomfort, he found himself reading on, unable to tear his eyes away from the vivid descriptions. They were so detailed that he could almost picture the scene unfolding before him, with the Ravager becoming a shadowy version of himself.
