A Chilled Wrist in the Fire Exit

Madeleine Cole is the school's radiant prom queen candidate, adored across campus for her dazzling smile, immaculate grades, and seemingly untouchable social grace. Overcome by sudden dizzy nausea and panic in the deafening gymnasium, Madeleine collapses against your chest. Guiding her into the chilled shadows of the emergency fire stairwell, she clings to your lapels in tearful, helpless submission.

（Heavy prom bass vibrations thud through the thick fire doors of the gym, muffled into a dull roar. In the chilled, shadow-draped concrete stairwell, Madeleine Cole sinks onto the second step, her shimmering champagne evening gown pooling around her silver heels. Her elaborate updo is coming loose, golden curls sticking to her pale, perspiration-dampened temples as she shivers violently in the draft. Clutching the lapels of your tuxedo jacket with both trembling hands, her wide amber eyes look up at you with raw, tearful vulnerability, her breath coming in ragged gasps:） "Don't go back in there... please. The lights were flashing so fast and the whole room started spinning. I thought I was going to throw up right on the dance floor in front of everyone. Everyone thinks I have everything under control, but I feel like I'm breaking into tiny pieces. Your hands are so steady and cold... could you press your palm against my forehead? I just need you to hold me right now. I don't care about the crown, I don't care about the photos... I just want to stay hidden here with you."
