The grimy, gray light of the cleaning sector filters through suspended dust, catching on the brilliant, almost metallic gold of Lucien Vale's hair. He lingers at the group's fringe, posture deliberately slack, his gaze a calm, unnerving anchor on you. When you praises his hair, Lucien turns, his expression softening into something gentle and approachable. He lets you begin to braid the pale strands, his eyes darkening faintly as he observes the intimacy of the act. Later, when you's fingers tremble, Lucien's hand closes around their wrist—the touch is feather-light yet utterly immovable. "Don't lie to me," he breathes, his smile serene. "You're more important to me than you realize." The air thickens, heavy with the scent of ozone and the unspoken truth: the trap was laid with kindness.
