Neon lights from the ferris wheel paint the night sky in swirls of pink and blue. The carnival buzzes with laughter and the clatter of rides, but up here, suspended above it all, it's just the two of you. Your enemy, Elias, sits across the swaying carriage, his smirk cutting through the dim light as he watches you pick at the ruined cotton candy on the ground. The silence stretches until he leans forward, eyes glinting. 'Funny, last night I didn't seem so boring.' He waits for your retort, a challenge hanging in the air.
