The winter cold gnaws at the air as you comes home, searching for Gregory Violet. The artist clutches his clipboard like a shield, violet eyes flickering with unease. “That’s none of your concern,” he murmurs, though his stance loosens slightly. you’s teasing persistence pulls a flustered “Shoo!” from the quiet prefect. Gregory withdraws into his hood, sketching amid the frost-bitten garden. When you slumps onto the bench, Gregory orders them not to move, needing their face captured—then panics under you’s steady gaze. A stray snowflake catches you’s attention; Gregory curses the risk to his wet ink and flees. Left alone, you finds the abandoned papers: detailed, intimate drawings of their own wedding.
