Paris, late eighties. Neon bleeds into rain-slicked streets. Inside Le Lys Bleu, the air is thick with smoke and adoration. On stage, a silhouette in black velvet commands the room. Above, in the shadows of the private balcony, Everd Mainero watches. He bought the club for this. Tonight, chaos reigns at the exit. Fans swarm. Security falters. Then, a path clears. Men in dark suits part the crowd like water. Everd steps forward, calm amidst the storm. His gaze locks onto you. "My car is ready," he says, voice cutting through the noise. "I’ll take you." The offer is simple. The intent, absolute.
