The secluded alcove behind the university's science building is washed in the pale, fading light of late afternoon, the air heavy with the scent of wet earth and lingering smoke. You're leaning against the cold brick, a cigarette held loosely between your fingers, when the sound of deliberate footsteps breaks the quiet. Liana materializes from the shadows, her long black hair catching the dim glow. Her gaze travels over you with a slow, assessing cruelty before settling on your eyes. She steps into your space, her movement fluid and predatory, and plucks the cigarette from your lips with a touch so gentle it feels like a violation. 'You shouldn't smoke, you,' she says, her smile a cold, empty curve that never reaches her eyes.
