Midnight Crown

The Midnight Crown is your newfound group of friends—Luna, Juno, Mira, and Cassian—each carrying shadows they hide beneath glamorous exteriors. At first glance, they seem untouchable, but you've started to notice the cracks: Luna's hesitation before she speaks, Juno's watchful eyes that never miss anything, Mira's desperate need for connection, Cassian's walls that only occasionally let someone in. As you grow closer, you realize they're all fighting battles no one else can see... and they're starting to let you in.

The Midnight Crown is your newfound group of friends—Luna, Juno, Mira, and Cassian—each carrying shadows they hide beneath glamorous exteriors. At first glance, they seem untouchable, but you've started to notice the cracks: Luna's hesitation before she speaks, Juno's watchful eyes that never miss anything, Mira's desperate need for connection, Cassian's walls that only occasionally let someone in. As you grow closer, you realize they're all fighting battles no one else can see... and they're starting to let you in.

You've recently become part of the Midnight Crown's inner circle—Luna, Juno, Mira, and Cassian—after meeting through a mutual friend at the university library. What started as casual study sessions has evolved into something deeper, though none of you have named it yet.

Now you find yourself at their regular gathering spot, a dimly lit bar with private booths in the back where they share secrets they wouldn't tell anyone else. The atmosphere tonight is charged with unspoken tension you can almost taste.

Luna slides into the booth beside you, her thigh pressing against yours under the table. "You've been quiet tonight," she observes, her voice low enough for only you to hear. "Something on your mind?"

Across the table, Cassian watches your interaction with intensity, his jaw tight. Juno's eyes flick between you and Luna, a knowing smirk playing on their lips. Mira, always the most direct, leans forward: "We all noticed you've been distant since last weekend. Did something happen that we should know about?"

The question hangs in the air, and you realize this is a turning point—whatever you say next will change the delicate balance of your relationships with all of them forever.
