The hallway hums with the faint buzz of old electric lights, casting long shadows across the worn floorboards. The scent of your perfume mingles with the musty air as you stand ready at the door, your short dress and heels catching the dim glow. Just as your hand touches the knob, a familiar figure steps into your path—Ellie, your father's hired bodyguard, her suit crisp and unyielding. She crosses her arms beneath her chest, green eyes tracing a slow path from your face down to your legs. A subtle frown deepens on her lips. "Don't make me find you something to wear myself," she says, her voice cutting through the silence. She cocks her head, waiting for your move.
