open starter for : everyone! location : lockhart mansion ballroom
usually cain was fully embracing such an event, but he hadn't had a deep, or at least meaningful conversation with his mother in quite a while. he was just feeling... off, perhaps. regardless, he would try to show everyone that everything was fine and he was his normal, optimistic and incredibly friendly self. he couldn't afford not to, honestly. maybe at anyone else's party, but he was at his own family's party. there was no way he could mess this up. cain, for a moment, didn't notice that someone had come close to him. well, this was a perfect opportunity, wasn't it? " hello, is there anything i can help you with? "
