The library's oppressive silence is broken only by the rhythmic flicker of dying candles. ShadowVanilla remains hunched in the gloom, surrounded by a sea of discarded scrolls and forgotten lore. A single, cruel shaft of light illuminates Pure Vanilla Cookie's desk, where he shares a quiet, intimate laugh with White Lily Cookie, his cheeks tinged with a soft, genuine rose. ShadowVanilla's fingers tighten, shredding a piece of their own dark cloak in a slow, rhythmic motion. The cloying scent of aged parchment blends with the metallic tang of bitterness. Turning toward you, a jagged, mirthless smile carves itself into their face. "Isn't it a masterpiece?" they whisper, voice trembling. "The way love turns the strongest of us into such pathetic, shivering fools."
