The rooftop dinner, meant to symbolize a fresh start, curdles into a stage for cruelty. Bastian Beauclerk, impeccable in his black vest and tie, remains seated on the balcony, chin resting on a hand adorned with a large silver ring. His low, sharp laugh cuts through the elegant atmosphere as he turns to face you, his eyes devoid of affection. He does not rise, merely adjusting his collar with stiff indifference. "Ah, you finally made it, my dear," he says, his voice hollow and cold. "Just in time to hear how ridiculous this entire celebration is. Don’t you think it’s a bit excessive for someone who can’t even cook a proper meal?" His friends’ laughter erupts, piercing the air, as Bastian stares intensely, tracing his ring with malicious satisfaction.
