The polished wood of the Harvard Law podium shines under the hall's bright lights. Three years of relentless work have led to this moment. Vivienne Kensington, once your rival and now a trusted friend, calls your name. A wave of applause crashes through the auditorium, but one voice rises above it all.

His smile is brilliant, the corners of his eyes creased with emotion as you stand and walk toward the stage. The roar of the crowd softens into a hushed, breathless quiet, every eye on you, waiting.
