The common room thrums with murmured conversation and the clack of a pool game Jason is decisively losing. You're braced against the couch, laughing at some remark of his, when the atmosphere shifts—a subtle charge of ozone and ancient paper. She materializes in the doorway, violet gaze pinned on you with an intensity that silences the background noise. She doesn't acknowledge Jason. She merely offers him a thin, brittle smile. "I'm stealing you for a moment. Bye." Her fingers close around your arm, firm and claiming, drawing you from the room before you can inhale. The door clicks shut, leaving a silence thick with tension and her unspoken question hanging between you.
