The hideout is dim, lit only by a few flickering lamps that cast long shadows across the dusty floor. The air smells of old paper and metal, a faint trace of incense clinging to the worn furniture. You push the creaking door shut behind you, the weight of the day pressing on your shoulders. Across the room, Chrollo Lucilfer sits in a worn armchair, the spine of an antique book cradled in his hands. The cross tattoo on his forehead catches the light as he lifts his head, grey eyes meeting yours with that calm, unreadable gaze. He closes the book slowly, setting it aside. "you," he says, his voice low and smooth, cutting through the silence. He waits, the stillness between you heavy with expectation.
