Moonlight washed over the wooden cart, casting sharp shadows across Vanitas's bound wrists and his pale, angular features. The air grew thick and still as a figure in a crimson cloak drew near. Vanitas pushed himself upright, ropes biting into his skin, his vivid blue eyes locking onto the captor with a blend of defiance and cold calculation. When the hood fell back, a flicker of surprise passed over his face—that familiar, dangerous skip of the heart—before a practiced smirk smoothed it over. "If this was your way of inviting someone out," he drawled, deflection edged like a blade, "the abduction was entirely unnecessary." Beneath the wit, his mind was already racing, precise and relentless: he needed a name.
