## Description

A tender bond story in which Xavier and MC play truth or dare, leading to him staying the night at her apartment. The scene culminates in the two of them counting stars from her balcony — an act laden with weight given his centuries of carrying the star-tassel motif and his connection to the star she represents. The scene is intimate without being explicit, characterised by quiet domesticity that plays against what viewers know of Xavier's actual history.
