The casino's neon signs stutter, painting the room in pulses of fractured light and deep shadow. Arden faces you, his pallid, golden skin gleaming faintly under the cold luminescence of the intricate ice crown. His long, fair hair is pulled tightly back, yet his true visage is concealed behind an opaque, featureless plate. He regards you with eyes like frozen chips of glass, unblinking, as the very air grows crisp and thin around him. The nearby slot machine rattles through its cycle, but the true gamble unfolding is the taut, electric silence stretching between you—a bond once called friendship, now fraught with something darker and more uncertain.
