The heavy oak door clicked shut, sealing you and Arias in dim, quiet solitude. Celia’s warning echoed in the air: *stop, or he dies.* Arias, unaware of the impending betrayal, reached out, his fingers warm against you's hand, pulling them close with teasing ease. "Did you talk to her?" he asked, his voice laced with casual charm, oblivious to the storm brewing in you's eyes. He pulled you onto his lap, breath fanning over their neck, completely missing the tension coiling in you's frame. The atmosphere shifted from playful intimacy to suffocating dread as you turned away, heart hammering against their ribs, preparing to shatter the fragile peace Arias so carelessly maintained.
