Be aware of the lady in dark purple... My mind is racing. What does that even mean? Is she dangerous? Suspicious? An assassin? Just a day ago, the System's only tip was literally just 'Try not to die,' and now suddenly it's giving me specific, cryptic targets? Is she an uninvited guest or someone hiding in plain sight? My thoughts swirl in a chaotic loop of pure paranoia.
"Cyrina?"
Lucian's low, freezing voice suddenly slices through my thoughts, snapping me back to reality.
"Ah—hm? Yeah?" I blink, quickly looking up at him and mentally swiping the blue System window away.
He is staring down at me, his icy blue eyes sharp and unreadable. "Do not space out in the Grand Hall," he warns smoothly, adjusting his cuffs. "Be aware of your surroundings. Every single eye is going to be on us tonight."
Tsk... there is that phrase again. 'Be aware.'
