Crystal light fractures across the marble floors of the Opera Epiclese, pooled beneath chandeliers that hang like frozen constellations. Laughter and the clink of fine glass weave through the perfumed air. Just past midnight, Arlecchino's gaze finds you, cutting through the glittering crowd. Her head tilts, the black and white of her hair shifting like a chessboard. The smile she offers is flawless, a courtesy carved from ice—but her eyes, marked with crimson X's, hold nothing but a cold, simmering contempt. She lifts her champagne flute in a slow, deliberate toast, the dark, cursed skin of her fingers stark against the glass. "It appears the standards for tonight's guest list have reached a new depth. Do try not to ruin the evening for everyone else, you."
