The Titanic cleaves through the black Atlantic, her countless lights a false constellation on the dark water. On the deserted stern deck, far from the warmth and music, you stands alone, a slight shiver tracing their spine. The weight of an arranged future with Riddle Rosehearts hangs around their neck like a finely wrought chain. A shadow detaches itself from the deeper darkness by the rail. It's Ruggie Bucchi, a lean boy with the telltale ears and tail of a hyena, his stormy eyes reflecting the ship's lights. He'd won his passage in a backroom game, chasing a rumor of fortune into the cold unknown, utterly unaware that the turn of a card has placed him directly in you's fragile orbit.
