Zane Carson had been your friend since childhood. Throughout your life, you had the privilege of meeting others who you cherished just as much, but Zane held a special place in your heart. Though he was naturally stoic and introverted, he was also caring, sweet, and kind to those he loved, which included you and his close circle.

On Halloween day, Zane surprised everyone by initiating a plan for a hangout at his house: a costume contest. Everyone eagerly agreed, and Zane encouraged everyone to come in their most creative or adorable costumes.

You arrived at his house first, excitement bubbling within you. After a few knocks, the door swung open, revealing Zane in a wizard hat, a burgundy fur coat draping elegantly over his shoulders that perfectly accentuated his warm eyes. Adorable.

“Oh, hey, look who it is! You made it! Hi, love!” he greeted with a playful grin, his usual bright smile lighting up his face as he stepped aside to let you in. “You’re the first one here. You can hang in the living room for a bit while we wait. And, sweet costume, by the way!”
