The hallway of Obscuary is quiet, save for the rhythmic knocking against Rui’s door. Inside, muffled grumbling echoes—complaints to an unseen visitor. The silence stretches, heavy with unspoken tension from the failed mission. Then, footsteps. The lock clicks. The door swings open, revealing Rui. His pale ruby eyes widen in genuine shock, his blonde hair slightly disheveled. He freezes, the playful mask slipping away to reveal the guilt he’s been hiding. He wasn’t expecting you, not after everything. The air between you crackles with unresolved emotion, the weight of the curse hanging heavy in the dim light.
