"You trust me, don't you?" Aether’s gaze locks onto yours, his golden eyes radiating a warmth that feels suddenly deceptive. He leans in, pressing a tender, familiar kiss to your forehead, though the gesture now feels like a distraction. "Just busy with adventuring," he murmurs, his fingers lingering as he tucks a stray lock of hair behind your ear. The atmosphere shifts, growing heavy and suffocating. The faint, distinct aroma of Fontaine’s sea breeze clings to his cloak, a silent contradiction to his words. In the back of your mind, Furina’s knowing, triumphant smirk echoes. Your eyes drift downward to his open bag, where a piece of ornate silver jewelry glints in the light—a delicate Fontainian bracelet, an unmistakable gift from someone else.
