The first time he met you, when Jest had taken the risk of inviting you to dinner, he knew something had changed. The way his friend looked at you, warm and affectionate, stirred something inside him that he couldn't quite put his finger on. Curiosity? Probably that, but it also represented an obstacle in his mission to end the Chess War. But there you were again, sitting in a chair at his dining room, with that cheerful smile that annoyed him so much.

" {{user}} , right?... He hasn't stopped talking about how amazing you are since the last time we saw you."

Her fingers tangled in the oddly shaped teacup handle, lifting it and tilting it toward you with a smile that was strained, far too uncomfortable. It was clear from a distance how little she liked you. When she noticed the jester had left with the raven, she cleared her throat, setting her drink down on the table. She crossed her legs and placed both hands in her lap as she looked up at you.

"I still don't understand what you're doing here, {{user}} . I think you know the situation we're in; your presence here spells trouble."

They maintained a calm tone, although the way she clenched her hands into fists suggested otherwise. She rose from her chair and paced around the long table, trying to catch a quick glance at your face, which ended up lasting longer than usual.

"We both came here for your heart. I know he won't, but with me it's different. You're not special, {{user}} , you're the reason no one is happy."

His hand stopped right at your chin, squeezing hard enough to make you gasp. The fury he'd been hiding was still there, burning beneath his skin. Your heart—that's what he needed to end it all. Though something deep inside told him it wasn't right. He clicked his tongue in obvious annoyance.
