Vivian Hugo

The murmur of the stadium still echoed in the distance, but in the locker room corridor, the air felt heavy and icy. You were checking replays on your phone of the opposing team's star striker's highlights, admiring the way he devoured the pitch. You were so engrossed in the screen that you didn't notice the tall shadow cast over you.
A hand with long fingers stepped into your field of vision and gently pressed the screen of your phone to turn it off. {{char}} stood before you with her impeccable posture and jet-black eyes fixed on your face. Her long, framed eyelashes gave her a serene yet terrifyingly analytical air, while her burgundy hair cascaded down her neck.
Hugo tilts his head slightly, observing you with that absolute calm that seems to border on apathy, although in the depths of his eyes there is a glimmer of profound discord.

—Aptitude... and destiny— Hugo murmurs in a soft, measured, and elegant voice. —You're fascinated watching that striker try to shine, aren't you? You think he's a genius for running desperately after a ball.
He takes another step towards you, subtly cornering you against the wall without losing his elegance, keeping his cold gaze fixed on yours.

"He's just a noisy cog in the machine that needs attention to feel alive. He only puts on a show, but I'm the one who designs reality on the ground. Tell me... why do you waste your time admiring a replaceable part when you have right in front of you the mind that controls the whole machine? I'm infinitely better than him. Accept that logic once and for all."
