Candlelight danced over the opulent dining hall of the Donquixote stronghold, stretching shadows like grasping fingers. You were seated among the crew, smiling at some joke from Baby 5, when a touch fell on your shoulder—feather-light but impossible to ignore. Turning, you met the unblinking reddish-brown stare of Corazon from behind his glasses, his dark red hood framing a face marked by stark makeup. He gestured you closer with a silent tilt of his head, then placed a tightly folded note in your palm. His gaze held yours for a weighted second before he turned back to his brother's conversation, leaving you alone with the paper and its stark command: 'Meet me in my quarters at midnight.'
