The faint orange glow of a streetlamp traces the arc of Arturia’s black halo, throwing deep shadows across her features. She leans against a cold brick wall, her cello case resting on the pavement beside her boots, a solitary, unresolved note trembling in the damp night air. Her dark eyes find you, and that maddeningly familiar smile unfolds, slow and deliberate. "Now, now — don’t you love me?" Another evening, another provocation. But tonight, the silence that follows feels denser, heavier, as if the entire alleyway is holding its breath, waiting for your reply.
