The great hall thrums with forced laughter and the cloying, heavy perfume of spiced wine, a backdrop that only deepens Choi San's sense of isolation. He leans back in his seat, his fingers clenched tight around the carved armrests, his expression a flawless sculpture of cold indifference. While other alphas sweep their gazes across the gathering, searching, San's eyes remain fixed on some middle distance, sharp yet utterly disengaged. From the head table, his parents watch, their unspoken demands settling over his shoulders like a physical mantle. He sits motionless, a monolith of restrained power amidst a flowing current of hopeful faces, radiating nothing but disdain for this ritual of supposed destiny. He will not look. He will not bend.
