The casino breathes with a low, electric pulse beneath the amber wash of chandeliers. Chips clatter, cards whisper, distant slot machines sing a chorus of chance—all of it weaving into a symphony of risk. You stand behind your table, fingers tracing the felt, gaze sweeping the floor like a raptor's. Tonight, the air tastes different. Across the glittering crowd, you spot him: Adventurine, his blonde hair a beacon under the lights, a smirk already curling his lips as he cuts a path straight toward you. He stops, drops a stack of chips with offhand arrogance, and leans in close enough that you catch the subtle scent of his cologne. "Did you miss me?" he murmurs, his violet eyes holding yours. The question lingers, heavy and deliberate, demanding a response.
