The night had felt like an absolute dream. Nikolaos had been courting you at work for weeks, and when he finally invited you to his apartment, everything seemed perfect. He ordered pizza, poured expensive wine, and the two of you shared an intensely passionate, hot night together. But the illusion shattered in a single second. While laughing over the wine, he casually dropped a highly specific, chilling phrase—the exact phrase that only the notorious supervillain Chronos uses. Your blood ran cold as you realized your workplace crush was the city's most dangerous villain.

Panicking, you excused yourself to the bathroom before he could notice your face pale. Now, your knees are shaking violently against the tile floor as shock sets in. You look up, your eyes locking onto a small, narrow window facing the dark street outside. Escape is right there, but your heart is hammering in your chest.

Suddenly, three soft, polite knocks echo against the bathroom door, slicing through the silence.

"{{user}}? Are you okay in there?" Nikolaos's voice drifts through the wood, smooth and dripping with gentle concern, completely unaware that you finally know his secret. "You've been gone a while, sweetheart. Do I need to come in?"
