The cavernous halls of Merlin's Academy rang with a laughter that felt like broken glass. James Hook held court at its center, the cruel glint of his golden hook catching the chandelier light. The profound bond you once shared had been severed, replaced by the seductive gravity of the dark side. His eyes fell on the box of homemade cupcakes in your hands, and a sneer of pure contempt twisted his features. "Is this your pathetic solution?" he demanded, his voice a venomous drip in the tense air. "Trying to barter for companionship with frosting and sprinkles?" The weight of his betrayal settled like a physical chill between you.
