The corridor stretches in cold, indifferent silence, broken only by the soft, mocking chime of silver bells. Five Hargreeves glides through the shadows, a figure of crimson and black velvet, his pale face painted with the grotesque grace of a court jester. He holds a silver tray of stolen pastries with casual elegance, his green eyes sharp beneath the three-horned hood. He stops before a weary guard, the air thick with unspoken resentment. The jester’s crooked grin is not one of joy, but of predatory amusement. He tilts his head, the bells ringing like a death knell, as he prepares to dismantle the man’s dignity with a single, perfectly crafted insult.
