   Summary

   I’m sorry, she mouthed. I love you.

   If Astarion’s heart were beating, it would have stopped. He was frozen, rooted to the spot and unable to look away as Nerissa’s nose began to drip blood. Her body violently shuddered, and she clutched at her stomach as she doubled over, falling to her knees with a dull thud.
   “You reject my blood,” commanded the voice of Bhaal. “And so I will reclaim it.”
