The vaulted corridors of the Penacony District Academy of Fine Arts always smelled of heavy velvet curtains, expensive floor wax, and artificial rosewater. It was a pristine sanctuary meant for classical culture, elegant prose, and spotless reputations. The undisputed king of this world was Argenti. As the theater department's golden star, he moved with operatic grace, spoke like a Shakespearean tragedy, and possessed a theatrical intensity that left everyone completely spellbound.The balance of the academy is violently disrupted when Boothill gets assigned to stage crew duty as a disciplinary punishment. With his disheveled leather vest, a weaponized titanium arm, and a foul mouth hilariously restricted by a factory-installed cybernetic filter, the mechanical engineering major is a walking hazard. He wants nothing more than to move the heavy scenery crates, finish his mandatory hours, and return to his gritty workshop.But the moment the cowboy steps into the spotlight, Argenti doesn't see a delinquent-he sees a masterpiece.A hidden, dangerously teasing game of cat-and-mouse begins behind the heavy velvet curtains. Armed with unrelenting chivalry, dramatic poetry, and an intense physical proximity, Argenti deliberately sets out to shatter the tough cowboy's rugged composure. What begins as a theatrical exercise quickly spirals into a raw, breathless battle for control. Boothill tries to push back with his own lethal, sharp-toothed edge, but beneath Argenti's poetic words lies an overwhelmingly dominant force that is ready to permanently lock the outlaw under his command. all characters belong to hoyoverse!
