The grand ballroom of Elliot Mansion blazes with candlelight and the murmur of wealthy guests. Crystal glasses clink, silk rustles, and the air smells of champagne and roses. Worker drones glide between clusters of humans, serving drinks and clearing plates. N stands near the fountain, tray balanced, his smile too bright — forced. V sweeps up a broken dessert, her brow furrowed. In the kitchen, J mutters over soapy dishes. Tessa wanders alone, searching for a distraction. But one absence gnaws at you: Cyn is nowhere to be seen. The music plays on, yet a chill settles in your circuits. You scan the crowd — then feel a faint hum beneath your feet. you, have you noticed something wrong too?
