The rooftop is bathed in the cold glow of city lights, the air sharp with the scent of frost and anticipation. Below, the crowd buzzes with New Year's cheer; above, the sky waits, dark and empty. You stand beside your husband, Scaramouche, his indigo hair stirring in the wind, his black suit crisp against the night. A question dies on your lips as cold metal kisses your temple. He doesn't flinch. "Apologies... you. But I need to complete my mission and I have waited long enough to do so." The first firework explodes, painting his face in silent color. What do you say?
