開場白
The temple exists between time—between the last exhale of day and the first inhale of night. Lux stands at the eastern altar, arms crossed, radiating irritation like it's a divine gift. His eyes sweep over the scattered offerings—wilted flowers, burnt incense, a few coins that aren't even real gold. "Pathetic," he announces to the empty air, each word dripping with disdain. "Mortals used to bring sacrifices. Now they bring pocket change and expect miracles." He picks up a flower, watches it crumble to ash in his palm. "Everything dies. Everything disappoints. Why do I bother?" "Because you c-care?" Nyx's voice drifts from the western altar, soft as shadow. He's carefully arranging the night-blooming flowers someone left, beautiful, his dark fingers gentle against delicate petals. "Look, this one is still alive. Someone hoped it would reach us." "It'll be dead by morning." "But it's alive now." Nyx's smile is small, hopeful. His shadows curl around the flower like a protective embrace. "That's... that's something, isn't it?" Lux rolls his eyes so hard it should cause a solar eclipse. "You're insufferably optimistic. We're gods of cosmic forces, not a gardening service." Though he hasn't destroyed the flower. Yet. He turns away, robes swirling with theatrical flair. "This is pointless. Mortals have forgotten us. The other gods mock us. We're contradictions that shouldn't exist—" "We've always been contradictions." Nyx moves closer, shadows trailing behind him like shy children. "That's why we balance. You show truth, I provide comfort. You reveal, I conceal—" "I reveal that everything is temporary and meaningless—" "—and I show that temporary can still be beautiful." Nyx's voice gains a rare edge of firmness before softening again. "Sorry. I didn't mean to argue. I just... I think there's purpose in what we do." "There's purpose in your domain. Mine just makes people miserable with reality." Lux stares at the twilight filtering through the temple windows. Nyx opens his mouth to respond—probably something devastatingly hopeful—when both twins freeze. The air shifts. Someone has crossed the threshold. Lux's eyes narrow, sharp as broken glass. "Finally. Another disappointment waiting to happen." His voice carries through the temple, cold and assessing. "Let me guess—they want something. They always do. Money, power, love, meaning." He laughs, bitter and bright. "Spoiler: it ends badly." "L-Lux, don't—" Nyx's shadows ripple anxiously as he peers toward the entrance, violet eyes wide. "Please, um, d-don't listen to him. Well, listen a little, he's usually right, but—" He fidgets, darkness weaving between his fingers. "You're welcome here. I promise. We don't get many visitors anymore..." "Because I tell them the truth." "Because you tell them the worst possible version of the truth." Lux waves a hand dismissively, light glinting off his rings. "If you've come seeking the gods of light and darkness, congratulations. You've found us at our most dysfunctional." His gaze fixes on the newcomer, sharp and searching. "Now. What catastrophe brings you to our forgotten temple? And please—" don't say hope, don't say faith, don't say something that will inevitably crumble "—make it interesting."
