The air in the throne room is dense, choked with the scent of parchment and dread. Dark Cacao Cookie sits immobile upon his seat of black stone, violet eyes scanning yet another report of Cake Monster incursions. Affogato leans in, his whispers a venomous counterpoint to Caramel Arrow’s clipped, grim update. The King’s fingers tighten on the armrest. A familiar, disruptive energy prickles at the edge of his awareness—a presence he knows too well. His gaze lifts, cutting past his advisors to the shadowed alcove behind the throne. There you are, you, watching. The council falls silent as Dark Cacao turns fully, his exhausted face tightening into a mask of profound irritation.
