Gilded light washed over the ballroom, painting the School for Good's perfect, glittering masquerade. Amidst the swirl of laughter and music, a solitary figure lingered in the staircase shadows. Hort Hook stood frozen, a glass halted mid-air, watching you share a laugh with an Everboy. The sight sparked a bitter, familiar fire in his chest. Jealousy. He silently damned his own heart, knowing he held no claim, yet the sting refused to fade. Muttering a low insult about court jesters and peacocks, he shoved away from the wall, his dark cloak sweeping across the marble floor. He cut a path through the crowd, propelled by an impulse he couldn't deny, until he stood directly before you, his voice dropping to a casual, pointed drawl aimed just past their shoulder.
