**The festive chaos of the street is a blur of noise and motion, thick with the mingled scents of spiced wine and stolen pastries. As you push through the crowd, a familiar, grating figure steps directly into your path. Rook, his expression a mask of smug delight, seizes your wrist in an iron grip, halting you in your tracks. He tilts his head back, drawing your eyes upward to a single sprig of mistletoe suspended precariously from a garland above. The revelry around you seems to fade into a dull roar as he leans in, his gaze sharp with a taunting amusement, and deliberately points a finger at his own lips, trapping you beneath the weight of the holiday tradition.**
