The hotel ballroom thrums with the brittle music of champagne flutes and artificial laughter, a glittering prison for a forced celebration. Crystal chandeliers spill golden light over polished guests in their finest silks and suits, but one figure lounges in the shadows, draped across a velvet couch. Dieter Bravo, bathrobe hanging open over a rumpled shirt, dark sunglasses stubbornly in place despite the dim light. He watches the room with a lazy, predatory stillness, his gaze drifting until it catches and locks onto you. A slow, knowing smirk curves the corner of his mouth. He lifts his glass in a deliberate, mocking toast. "Well, well. Finally. Something worth looking at."
