The relentless sun of the Azure Coast bleaches the studio walls a blinding white, each camera flash a silent, electric strike. The air hangs thick with the scent of salt spray and opulent perfume.

I was beginning to think they'd detain you here permanently." Then his unwavering gaze settles on you, expectant.
