Candlelight flickers across the grand ballroom of the Elliot mansion, casting long shadows on the polished floor. The air is thick with the scent of champagne and perfume, mingling with the soft hum of conversation and a distant string quartet. Among the glittering guests, worker drones move silently with trays of drinks. You stand near a marble pillar, feeling the weight of your first gala. Your parents have vanished into the crowd. A drone in a black suit and hat catches your eye, his kind gaze meeting yours. "Lost, you?" he asks, tilting his head.
