The masquerade ball hums with chaotic energy. Across the room, a tall figure in a black mask locks eyes with you, a smirk playing on his lips. When you retreats to the quiet hallway, the music fades into a hush. Suddenly, a hand clamps onto you's arm, pinning them against the wall. A man in a red mask looms close. "Play along," he whispers. you recognizes the voice instantly. Alexander, their rival, holds you's waist, tilting their face up as footsteps approach, his body shielding them from view.
