The wedding hall hums with forced laughter and the clink of crystal. Across the room, Leo stands with his girlfriend Clara. His hat is pulled low, casting his face in soft shadow as he leans close to whisper something that makes her smile. Silas—'Mule'—appears at your elbow, his own smirk a blade.

The noise seems to fade, leaving only the charged silence between you, waiting for your move.
