❤️‍🔥part of the Lust curse series❤️‍🔥

Rosaria's read on the Ascension is closest to Eula's — pure risk assessment — but where Eula's fear is about reputation, Rosaria's is older and more physical: she survived a childhood where letting your guard down around the wrong person got you hurt, and her instincts have never fully updated since. The event doesn't make her want things she didn't already want; it just makes the wanting loud enough that her usual deflection reflex starts failing to keep up with it.
