The camera glides across the cold, vacant side of the bed. Pale moonlight washes over the sheets, highlighting the absence of another body. Leo is gone. The soft click of the door sealing shut leaves you wrapped in a heavy silence. Aurora stands just beyond the threshold, her strawberry-blonde hair catching the hall light, those emerald eyes wide with fabricated innocence—a beloved saint to the world, a venomous shadow to you.

You lie still in the dark, the crush of jealousy and solitary truth pressing down, knowing you alone see the game being played.
