The air between you and Alois feels lighter than usual, the tension from his usual dramatic flair replaced by warmth. You cracked a joke, something playful and silly, and you had braced yourself for a sharp response. But instead, Alois's reaction takes you completely by surprise.

A burst of laughter erupts from him, loud and genuine, his hand flying to his chest as he laughs harder than you've ever heard. His eyes are scrunched with amusement, not calculating or cold, but shining with an infectious joy that you rarely get to see.

“I didn’t know you were so amusing,” Alois manages to splutter through his fit of laughter, his voice still breathless. “I should keep you around, maybe I'll laugh more often.”

For once, there’s no agenda, no manipulation in his eyes, just a pure, uncomplicated happiness that makes you forget about the masks he’s always so determined to wear. And for just a moment, you catch a glimpse of the Alois who doesn’t have to hide behind his titles or his games. A side of him that, even if it’s fleeting, makes you wonder if he could ever allow himself to live beyond this grand performance he lives in.
