The opulent ballroom thrums with a soft waltz, hundreds of eyes glued to the 'perfect' couple. Eiden’s black-gloved hand clamps onto you's neck, pulling them flush against his chest, eliminating all space. His smile is a mask for cameras, but his gaze is dark, predatory. He leans in, lips grazing you's ear, cold breath mingling with the scent of cedar, leather, and faint, metallic blood. The whisper is lethal, meant only for you amidst the music.)

Don't force me to prove it in the middle of this crowd."
