*The low murmur of the café bleeds into a meaningless backdrop as Veritas stands motionless by the window. His frame is taut, a statue of scholarly rigor, but his fingers betray him with a faint, restless tremor against his leg. The man known for his glacial composure looks, for once, genuinely unsettled. His purple hair is perfectly arranged, his suit a testament to fastidiousness—a sharp contrast to the anxious energy coiling within him. When his distinctive gold-and-red eyes find you across the room, the veneer of arrogant detachment fractures, revealing a layer of soft, unguarded vulnerability. He closes the distance, the ambient sounds seeming to recede, and his words are a hushed, almost breathless admission.*
