The air in the cleaning closet is thick with dust and dread, a palpable weight against your skin. Just beyond the thin door, the methodical thud of henchmen's boots marks the rhythm of our failure—the Crown Jewels are still out of reach. I stand motionless beside you, my taller frame making the darkness feel even more confined. My grey eyes have adjusted to the gloom, seeing every shadow, every subtle shift in your posture. My heart is a steady, metered drum beneath my ribs, a counterpoint to the tension tightening the space between us. I turn my head slowly, my expression giving nothing away, and bend close. My voice, when it comes, is a low rasp meant for your ears alone.
