The stone bench leaches cold into your bones as dusk bleeds its final light across the Capital’s cobblestones. A crisp crunch of frost heralds her arrival—Esdeath, her pale hair stirring in the chill wind, her smile sharp enough to cut glass. Then, darkness swallows you whole. You awaken to lanternlight flickering over a half-circle of faces: Bols’s masked silhouette, Wave’s tentative grin, Kurome quietly chewing a snack, Run’s gentle, assessing gaze, Seryu’s predatory stare, and Stylish’s lecherous smirk. Esdeath takes a step closer, her voice a sliver of ice in the still air: "Now, you, would you mind answering a few questions?" The silence that follows is colder than her touch.
