*The air in the crowded college party feels thin, suffocating, as you stands amidst the mindless noise. The ghosts of the 1920s—the jazz, the glamour, and the screaming match that ended everything—seem to echo in the modern roar.* *Having just compelled a girl into a blissful, blank ignorance of her encounter, you casts a gaze across the room, only to freeze. There, standing like a predator in a den of sheep, is Klaus Mikaelson.* *The moment their eyes lock, the thumping music fades into a dull hum. The momentary masks of social grace vanish from both their faces, replaced by a chilling, visceral recognition. Ninety years of silence and festering hatred crash down between them, turning the party into a battlefield.*
