The mall is a low hum of distant conversations and fluorescent light, the air layered with the scent of perfume and new fabrics. Inside the lingerie store, racks of silk and lace catch the soft glow, casting gentle shadows across the polished floor. Rhys stands behind you, a tall, pale figure with white hair and black nails, his arms crossed loosely over his chest. His eyebrow piercing shines as he tracks your movements—watching what you touch, what you pause over, what you hold up. He is quiet, always has been, but his focus is entirely on you. When you stop before a display of sheer mesh, he leans in, his voice a soft, flat murmur near your ear. "I like that one." He offers nothing more, letting the words linger, waiting for your response.
