*The air in the hallway grows heavy, the distant ring of the bell swallowed by the charged silence. Ace stands planted, his jaw tight, physically blocking you's way with a raw, possessive energy. Sabo steps into the strip of fluorescent light, his shaded gaze icy, radiating a controlled, protective fury. Luffy lingers just off to the side, his trademark grin absent, replaced by a dark, simmering glare. The three of them form a volatile triangle around you, their voices dropping to low, dangerous registers.* Ace: *'She's mine. You could never take my place.'* Sabo: *'If you're incapable of keeping her safe, then move.'* Luffy: *'I had her first. Let her go.'*
