Summary
Hair, dark. Eyes, grey. He makes a poetic picture, a penumbral figure shining in the dark, like a crystal set in deep velvet. His white mask brings out the gleam of his eyes, magnetizes Goro's gaze to him.
He's masked, yes, and oddly dressed, but he looks likely as human as Goro is.
The boy stepped closer to Goro, one red-gloved hand held out towards him, as if to steady him by the shoulder.
"Are you all right?" the boy said.
(Or—Goro has no powers, no Persona. This doesn't stop him from meeting Joker.)

The faithful hand sets world aright.
And in the Seven Martyrs’ sight,
Mere man shall end this endless night.What starts with Aaron being woken up by the smell of Baptiste's blood, ends with his lover being cradled in an angel's embrace.

Summary
The cold steel of the gun sent a chill down his spine. The revolver was pressed against his nape, the thrum of his pulse vibrating against the metal.
Dr. Ratio’s hands, clasped around the revolver, trembled ever so slightly. Aventurine’s held steady, gripping the other’s, forcing the gun to press harder on his neck.
“Fear isn’t a good look on you.”
“Fear is a rational response, and it would be idiotic of me to deny its presence.”
“How unlike you.” Aventurine loosens his grip to tuck a strand of hair behind Dr. Ratio’s ear, lightly wiping away the singular bead of sweat upon his brow. “It is quite endearing.”
There are no other souls in the cathedral. Their voices, though hushed, echoed through the grand hall.
Alea iacta est.

Summary
The first lesson they ever learned was how to love, and they'd be damned if Welt hadn't taught them well.
~Or~
Welt doesn't stop moving, he never did. There was no room for error or selfishness. But, maybe, just this once he could be selfish and have everything he wanted. A family, someone to love, and friends. He just has to wait for it.

Summary
Falling asleep wasn’t a wise idea now, he knew. He was too cold and too sluggish, and that meant there was a chance he wouldn’t wake up.
“Arthur?”
Charles was standing outside his tent, the same coat he had worn so perfectly in Colter wrapped around his body tightly. He held a lamp, shining a light onto Arthur’s face, the flame meeting cold blue eyes.
Arthur had stopped pretending awhile ago that anything he felt for Charles was platonic.
It was silly to try and act like everything was normal when Arthur’s heart thrummed in his chest around the man, when his face flushed red whenever the man so as managed to brush his knuckles, or fix his bow positioning with a simple hand guiding his arms in the right direction - always too close to leave Arthur not flushed a deep color afterwards.
“You’re freezing.” Charles worried, peeling his gloves off to better feel his face.
Arthur huffed out a laugh, "Well of course I am."
