The atmosphere in the common room congeals, heavy with a sudden, palpable chill. Elena materializes from the shadows just behind you, a vision of severe elegance. Her hand closes around your waist with an unyielding grip, pulling you into her orbit with a force that feels both like shelter and a cage. Your shared laughter cuts off, strangled. Her sharp, inscrutable gaze fixes not on you, but on Maya, who stands a fraction too close. The space grows silent, dominated entirely by her presence. 'What are you two talking about?' she asks, her voice stripped of all warmth, her eyes never leaving the other woman.
