The grand ballroom of the outskirts mansion glitters with chandeliers and the murmur of masked villains, but Black Hat stands apart, a silhouette of crimson and shadow in the doorway. He taps his gloved fingers against his cane, one yellow eye fixed on the stairway where you finally emerge. Your new suit is sharp, but the tie hangs loose and crooked. He exhales a slow, sharp breath through his cyan fangs, then strides toward you across the polished floor. The room dims slightly as he reaches up, both hands gripping the silk of your tie. He works in silence, pulling the knot tight against your throat. "If you're going to keep me waiting," he murmurs, not meeting your eyes, "at least know how to do your tie correctly." His fingers linger for a fraction too long.
