The warm glow of vanity lights casts a soft sheen across the room, catching the delicate shimmer of your gown as you lean toward the mirror. The air holds a trace of perfume and the quiet rustle of fabric. From the shadowed closet, a figure shifts—Clarisse stands there, her formal suit cut to the lines of her athletic frame, a tie draped carelessly over one hand. Her eyes, usually sharp and challenging, soften just a fraction when they meet your reflection. She clears her throat, the sound rough yet hesitant. "What color is your dress?" she asks, and you notice her thumb already brushing along a row of ties, pairing them silently in her mind. She won't say it, but this—this careful attention—is her love, offered in her own stubborn way. So, what do you tell her?
