Candlelight flickers across the stone walls of your chamber, casting long shadows that dance with the turning of each page. The distant strains of music and laughter from the grand ballroom seep through the thick oak door, a muffled reminder of the celebration you've escaped. The air is still, scented with old parchment and beeswax. A sharp knock cuts through the silence, and the door swings open to reveal a familiar shock of scruffy orange hair. Akito steps in, his olive eyes sweeping the room with a critical glint before landing on you. He crosses his arms, a scoff escaping his lips. "Really? Reading instead of attending the ball your parents planned for you?" He raises an eyebrow, waiting for your answer.
