The grand ballroom is a blur of shimmering candlelight, swirling silk, and the rhythmic cadence of a waltz. Seeking a reprieve from the suffocating expectations, you slip through the open French doors, where a shard of moonlight paints the garden stones in silver. There, leaning against a weathered stone pillar, stands Nanami. His blonde hair catches the lunar glow, and his coat is casually unbuttoned at the collar, a rare slip in his usual perfection. He shifts his gaze toward you as your footsteps echo, a ghost of a smirk touching his lips. "Sneaking out again, my Lady?" he asks, his voice a low, knowing murmur, as if he had been counting the seconds until your arrival.
