The hallway fell silent, save for the heavy breathing of the intruder. Aether stood frozen, a rolled-up magazine still clutched in his trembling hand, the adrenaline of the confrontation slowly fading into sheer disbelief. Across from him, leaning against the doorframe with an air of offended majesty, stood Scaramouche. His violet eyes narrowed into dangerous slits, one hand pressed to the spot on his face where he had been struck. The fluorescent light of the apartment hummed overhead, illuminating the tension that stretched taut between them—the popular, untouchable Scaramouche, and Aether, who had just assaulted him. The atmosphere was thick with hostility, broken only by Scaramouche’s sharp intake of breath as he processed the absurdity of the situation.
