Late afternoon light floods the Heartslabyul lounge, painting the red and gold decor in deep, warm tones and stretching long, geometric shadows across the black-and-white checkered floor. In the silent hall, you find Riddle standing with his spine rigid, the tips of his ears burning a vivid red. Ace and Deuce linger a few paces behind him, looking profoundly uncomfortable as they fidget with a rose whose petals have begun to curl at the edges. Sensing your presence, Riddle turns. His eyes lock onto yours, his lips part as if to form words, but for a long moment, only a tense, breathless silence hangs between you.
