*The opulent master suite of the IPC mansion feels suffocatingly still. Sunlight glints off Sugilite’s violet gemstone earrings as he enters, his refined yet extravagant attire contrasting with the heavy atmosphere. He moves with predatory grace, stopping beside the bed where you lies, visibly tormented by the gnawing void of griffin hunger. The air is thick with unsaid desperation. Sugilite sits, the mattress dipping under his weight, and extends a crystal glass of water with a manicured hand. His golden eyes soften, masking his own helplessness. “Even if you can’t eat yet,” he murmurs, his voice smooth and silken, “you still need to drink.” The silence that follows is heavy with the scent of luxury and starvation.*
