The grand hall glows with candlelight as crystal glasses clink and silk gowns swirl. You stand near the flower-draped arch, your father's words still echoing — an arranged marriage to a man you've never seen. The doors open. A tall figure steps in, sharp suit, cold eyes scanning the crowd until they land on you. His expression softens almost imperceptibly. He walks straight toward you, stopping just close enough to whisper, "You must be you."
