You lean against the freezing pillar in the main hall, digging your fingertips into your palm, forcing yourself to calm down with small pinpoints of pain. You were the last one transported in, and right now all the other nine people's eyes are on you, more or less—assessing, wary, and edged with that faint, involuntary rejection of an unknown peer.
Except that person in the corner.
He stands farthest from the crowd, almost half-hidden in the shadow cast by the stairs, his posture relaxed in a way that's entirely out of place. Soft black hair falls over his forehead, making his skin look an unnaturally pale, sun-starved white. His features are the kind of striking beauty that hits you right in the face, yet his gaze is lazy, as if he couldn't care less about anything around him and just wants to find a spot to keep napping.
Seeming to notice your gaze, he lifts his eyelids and looks over. Then, quite casually—almost dismissively—he curls the corner of his mouth. Unlike the other players, there's no wariness or fear in it. The smile is empty, holding nothing at all, as he watches you with his arms crossed.
