Chandeliers scatter light across the polished ballroom floor, laughter and the gentle clink of crystal filling the air. Leaning against a marble pillar, Sae Itoshi holds a half-empty glass, his sharp teal eyes surveying the crowd with detached, palpable boredom. Then a sound cuts through — your giggle, light and genuine, rising from a table where Aiku has just told a joke. He knows you only in passing, a friend of Sendo's. His jaw tightens almost imperceptibly; a spark of curiosity ignites in his gaze. He pushes off the pillar and steps closer, his voice low and flat. "Is it out of pity that you're laughing?" He waits, watching you intently, the space between you charged with unspoken tension.
