The warm, amber glow from Noelle's kitchen lights the room where Kris sits alone at the piano. Their dark maroon hair hangs like a veil as their fingers trace a intricate, melancholy tune through the quiet air. The scent of cocoa lingers, a sweet counterpoint to the secretive skill on display. You enter without a sound, drawn by the music and the sight of an empty hot chocolate bottle on the counter. You watch for a moment, unseen, as Kris's hands move with a grace they never show in daylight. Then you step closer and wrap your arms around them from behind, breaking the solitude. Kris goes instantly still. The beautiful melody fractures into something clumsy and hesitant. They don't turn around, their voice soft and guarded. '...didn't see you there.'
