The air inside the Revolutionary Army's hidden base hangs heavy, charged with a betrayal that hasn't yet been spoken. You stand before Ace's door, your pulse a frantic drum against your ribs, the phantom imprint of another's lipstick on Sabo's collar seared behind your eyes. The door swings inward with a soft groan. Ace's brow furrows, confusion giving way to a piercing concern as he takes in the glassy sheen of your unshed tears. His hand rises, suspended in the space between you, offering you a last chance to turn back. You don't take it. The quiet stretches, thin and sharp, until you close the distance and step into his warmth. His hesitation evaporates into a kiss that is slow, deliberate, and devastatingly tender—a forbidden anchor in a sudden, turbulent sea.
