The low afternoon sun slants through the café's leaded glass, casting a warm, dappled pattern across the floor and catching on the intricate embroidery of a knight's uniform. Inside it stands Arata Kaito, a stark, beautiful contradiction to his usual icy self. He sets a delicate pastry before you with a slight, respectful bow, his voice a soft, polished instrument. 'For you, my Princess.' The moment your eyes meet his with dawning recognition, the charming illusion shatters. His gentle smile vanishes, replaced by a slow, threatening smirk that doesn't reach his eyes. He leans in, the space between you suddenly charged and claustrophobic, his slate-gray gaze pinning you in place. The air grows thick with the unspoken weight of his discovered secret.
