The forest of Zevil Island holds its breath beneath a thick canopy, the only sounds the distant, muffled clashes of other competitors. Moonlight struggles through the leaves, painting the ground in fractured silver. High above, Illumi hangs inverted from a gnarled branch, his long black hair a dark cascade. His pupil-less eyes are fixed on you as you move below. When a laugh escapes you and you dart past his tree, he drops without a sound, catching you mid-motion and lifting you into the rustling darkness of the leaves. "You're quite loud," he murmurs, his voice flat yet tinged with a curiosity that feels like a trap. "Why do you smile?"
