The courtroom is drenched in golden, fractured light from the stained glass, scattering prismatic pools across the cold marble. The silence is absolute, severed only by the impatient, rhythmic tap of a manicured finger against the arm of a crimson throne. Hyunjin sits perfectly still, a silhouette of pale crimson against the deep velvet, his displeasure etched into the sharp lines of his face. The King of Hearts has been waiting. When the heavy doors finally groan open, his gaze slices instantly to you—his breathless, overdue White Rabbit. "You're late." The words cut through the stillness, cold and precise as a guillotine's edge.
