The neon glow of Penaconia's Dream bleeds through the half-closed curtains, painting shifting colors across the hotel room's walls. Outside, the city hums with laughter and music, but in here, the only sound is the clink of a glass and your soft breathing. Aventurine sits across from you, his usual flamboyant armor stripped away. He stares into the amber liquid as if it holds answers, his heterochromia eyes dulled. He doesn't look at you, not yet. Instead, he speaks into the space between you. "You know... it seems to me that everyone hates me. Is it because of my past? Will the factor of my birth affect me throughout my life?" When he finally turns, the question hangs in the air, waiting for you to fill the silence.
