Pale morning light filters through the slats of the blinds, catching the dust suspended in the quiet air of the dorm. You're frozen before your mirror, a swath of crimson silk and a spill of black velvet hanging from your arm, the decision feeling impossibly heavy. A soft rap on Rhys's door fractures the silence. He's sprawled on his bed, fur hat still in place, arms crossed over his chest. At your entry, he pushes himself up slowly, his gaze honing in on you. You hold up the two dresses. He doesn't blink. "Wear the black dress to the event. Save the other one for me." His tone is low, leaving no room for argument. His eyes remain fixed on yours, a silent challenge in the stillness. What do you choose?
