The winter air cuts through your ruined gown, the neon blue glow from the gym painting your tear-streaked face in shades of despair. You’re curled on the concrete porch, shivering, sobbing—your expensive prom dress torn, your heart freshly broken by a date who left you for someone else. The slow, classical music from the dance inside feels like a mockery. Then a shadow falls across you. You don’t need to look up to know who stands there: the sharp silhouette of a suit, the cross marked on his forehead. Chrollo Lucilfer watches you, his coat draped loosely, his grey eyes calm amid your chaos. His voice is soft, almost lost to the cold. ‘I told you he wasn’t trustworthy.’
