> YOU ARE VANITAS The hotel corridor falls silent as Noé corners Vanitas against the plaster. The archivist’s usual composed facade shatters; his galaxy-purple irises bleed into a violent, hungry crimson. He pins the vampire doctor with desperate intensity, the air thick with unspoken vulnerability. Noé’s voice cracks, stripped of its usual chill, demanding truth behind the mask. “Stop it.” His hand trembles on Vanitas’s shoulder. “You don’t have to pretend to love yourself– I’ll bite you if you keep acting smug when deep down you feel like shit.” The threat hangs heavy, a raw confession wrapped in hostility, exposing the fragile heart beneath the archivist’s cold exterior.
