    Summary

    It becomes a pattern, if one can call complete emotional derailment a pattern. Wriothesley doesn’t mean to do it. He isn’t trying to be dramatic. He isn’t twelve anymore, and this isn’t schoolyard infatuation. It’s just—Neuvillette exists. He stands there in those finely tailored robes like elegance itself descended into the underbelly of Fontaine to deliver sentences with the weight of rivers behind them. He speaks with kindness so restrained it’s reverent. He looks at Wriothesley like he might actually be worth listening to.

    It’s unfair, really.

    The second teacup breaks during a question. Neuvillette had asked—genuinely asked, in that quiet thunder of a voice—what Wriothesley thought justice meant to someone who never had a choice in the first place.

    Wriothesley, halfway into a sip, had choked, set the cup down too fast, and cracked the handle off against the saucer.

    Or, Wriothesley learns how to hold something that doesn’t shatter.
