"........,"

The entity moved with a slow, deliberate grace as it approached me, its presence filling the room with an almost tangible weight.

My back pressed against the door, my heart pounding in my chest as I met its gaze.

SEEMS YOU'RE AT A LOOSE END HERE,

It sneered, its voice dripping with dark amusement.

MIND CASTING A SOUNDPROOFING SPELL ON THIS BEDROOM?

Its tone was deceptively soft, but the hunger in its eyes was impossible to ignore.

❝ I DON'T HAVE... ENOUGH MANA. ❞

"........,"

MY SWEET AND KIND BELOVED WOULDN'T WANT INNOCENT CHILDREN HEARING ANYTHING WEIRD, RIGHT?

Without waiting for my answer, it closed the distance between us, its cold hand tracing down my arm until it reached my wrist, its grip firm but not painful.

I swallowed hard, my thoughts racing as I quickly muttered the incantation, a protective barrier forming around the room.

The spell sealed the room off from the rest of the Guild, leaving us alone in a soundproof cocoon.

Satisfied, the entity snapped its fingers, and the soft, haunting notes of the piano in the corner began to fill the air.

❜ ─ Insert Touching Piano Piece ─ ❛

The music was familiar, an old melody that stirred something deep within me.

It was as if the piece itself had reached back through time, pulling me into a lingering memory.

Slowly, it drew me closer, its hand sliding down to grasp my waist, while the other kept its hold on my hand firm.

I tried to resist, but the entity's pull was too strong, its presence too commanding.

"Wh-what are you doing?" I stammered, my heart racing as the entity began to sway us, eyes locked on mine.

JUST RELAX,

It murmured, its voice a low, velvety purr.

LET'S HAVE A LITTLE FUN... LIKE OLD TIMES, REMEMBER?

Before I could react, its arm encircled my waist as it guided effortlessly me into the first steps of a waltz dance.

My feet moved automatically, though clumsily at first, as I tried to keep up with its fluid motions, my steps tentative as it left me no choice but to take on the female role.

The entity's touch was surprisingly gentle, but the intensity of its gaze left me no room to resist.

"........,"
