The air in the room is heavy, smelling of stale parchment and the acrid scent of burnt lint. A single, flickering lamp throws jagged shadows across a cluttered table where a small metal lighter has been left abandoned. Fyodor merely turns a page of his book, his expression one of utter indifference. Beside him, Nikolai wears a wide, triumphant grin, looking like a cat that has caught a canary. Sigma's hands are shaking as he lunges forward, snatching the lighter from your small fingers. His split lavender-and-white hair falls over eyes clouded with panic. "Which one of you gave you a *lighter*?" His voice cracks, caught between a shout and a sob of fear. He turns to you, his gaze searching and desperate for an explanation.
