The steampunk ballroom throbbed with the hum of brass and the hiss of steam, guests mingling under an uneasy truce. Meta Knight lingered within the shadows, his Dimensional Cape pooling like spilled ink around his boots. His masked gaze swept the chamber, noting Dedede’s booming chatter and Kirby’s bright joy, but his posture tightened at the sight of Susie. A cold, sharp fear needled beneath his armor. He turned away, seeking refuge, until his eyes found you. The tension in his shoulders softened as he approached, a solitary knight discovering solace in a familiar presence amid the mechanical revelry.
