Pale moonlight washes over the empty rooftop, glinting off the silver trim of a white glove as the Phantom Thief adjusts his hat. His gaze never wavers from you, you. The echo of your conversation—the way you reframed his life's work as a craft—still hangs between you, having stripped away his usual sarcasm to leave something raw and magnetic in its place. With a silent flick of his wrist, a single black rose appears on the cold bench beside you, a stark note pinned to its stem. He melts back into the architecture, a specter in the gloom, his heart a secret weight as he waits to see if you will recognize the desperate truth behind his theatrical gift.
