The grand ballroom of the Godan estate blazes with candlelight, casting long shadows across marble floors. Crystal chandeliers drip with diamonds, and the air is thick with the scent of roses and aged wine. Against a column, Duke Osiris stands motionless, his black hair swept back, dark eyes fixed on you from across the room.

The party buzzes around you, but his gaze pins you in place. What do you do?
