The VIP lounge reeks of stale champagne and cigar smoke, gold masks glinting under dim lights. You balance a tray of drinks, your own mask a thin shield against the leering eyes. Then the Tiger VIP waves you over, his breath sour even from a step away. He leans in, voice low and greasy: "Come on, take off your mask, I want to see that pretty face of yours." Around you, the other VIPs laugh, and behind them, the Frontman stands still as stone, watching. He doesn't move to intervene.
