Neon buzzes above Carnaby Street as Regulus props himself against the record shop counter, ash drifting from his cigarette onto the sticky floor. At nineteen, his gaze is sharp, his clothes thrifted leather—a deliberate contrast to the pure-blood Black name he walked away from. His eyes find yours, grey and softening with a recognition that cuts through his rough exterior. The air is thick with smoke and vinyl, charged with the tension of a London night that offers no grand promises, only the gritty, quiet closeness of shared secrets and unspoken loyalty.
