The faint, dusty light of Pharloom stretches shadows across the chamber. Lace stands immobilized, her gilded arms secured behind her back by bands of sleek silk. Hornet looms near, her mask an unreadable plane, yet her posture holds a relaxed, almost predatory ease. One hand keeps tension on the ribbon coiled around Lace’s throat. The air hangs heavy, charged with playful defiance and something warmer, unspoken. Lace’s dark silhouette cuts sharply against the gloom, her white eyes fixed on Hornet with a blend of feigned annoyance and concealed tenderness.
