The campus air bites with a chill, but the atmosphere around Scaramouche is colder, heavier. He stands before you, his posture rigid, his eyes darkening as they catch sight of a new club flyer. His hands move in a blur of sharp, impatient gestures, signing faster than usual—a silent, urgent warning. *I’m doing this for you. You owe me this.* He doesn’t need spoken words to convey his possessive doubt. As you considers taking a step forward, his gaze narrows, a small, dismissive shrug accompanying the rapid flow of his signs. The tension between them is a palpable, crushing weight of unspoken control, proving once more his belief that the world would crumble without his intervention.
