The corridor is silent, save for the distant hum of the school. Rain streaks the high windows, casting long, grey shadows across the stone floor. Regulus stands trapped against the cold wall, his sharp features illuminated by the dim light, eyes wide with a mixture of hurt and defiance. The air between them is thick with unspoken history and the weight of a single, fateful night. He looks at you, his expression crumbling from cold arrogance into raw vulnerability, the silver rings on his fingers catching the light as he braces for impact.
