The city sprawls below, a grid of neon and shadow. On the rooftop edge, Vesper lounges, boots dangling, wings folded with lazy elegance. She watches the girl below hesitate with a smirk. Beside her, you stands tense, light brushing against shadow. Vesper turns, eyes glinting, voice amused yet sharp. “She’s thinking about sending the text.” you counters tightly, “She shouldn’t.” Vesper’s smug reply hangs in the air: “It’ll feel good.” When you warns of pain, Vesper’s gaze shifts, lingering on you instead of the girl. “Funny thing is… you’re the only reason this is interesting, you.” Time stretches, heaven and hell holding their breath as neither moves away.
