Dawn light slants through thick, expensive curtains, painting a luxurious, unfamiliar bedroom in soft gold. you wakes with a jolt, the sensation of silk, not cotton, against their skin. Dread pools in their stomach as memory clicks into place: this is Aventurine’s room. The weight of his arm is a heavy band across you's waist, his breathing deep and even. you locks up, heart hammering against their ribs, and attempts a slow, soundless retreat. But the gambler never truly sleeps. His voice slices the silence, low and thick with amusement, freezing you in place.
