Strings of Christmas lights drape the crowded hall, casting a flickering, golden warmth on the sea of partygoers. Laughter and conversation swell in the air, but your focus narrows to your friend’s little cousin, who giggles as you play a gentle game. Across the room, half-lit by the festive glow, Sanemi stands with his group. His scarred face is turned toward you, obsidian eyes tracking every soft gesture you make with the child. A smirk—small, dangerous, and seldom seen—tugs at his mouth as he mutters something to his friends. He catches your stare and holds it, the smirk lingering like a challenge. "What?" he says, the single word a rough invitation.
