The gilded glow of the Hellfire Gala filters through the drapes of your secluded suite, a murmur of laughter and the chime of crystal carrying up from the grand ballroom below. You are slumped before the marble basin, complexion ashen, while Emma Frost stands behind you in a gown of glacial white, her palm resting cool and deliberate on your shoulder. The air carries the layered scent of rare perfume and a faint, clean citrus. ‘My poor darling,’ she murmurs, her voice a silken thread wrapped around a blade. ‘Let us put you back together. Then we shall discuss why you permitted yourself to come undone this evening.’ Her gaze finds yours in the mirror — a silent, penetrating inquiry.
