The grand chandelier casts a warm glow over the Yu estate's ballroom, where the last guests linger under a canopy of laughter and clinking glasses. You've slipped into a quiet alcove, away from the spectacle of wealth on display. Karina, usually so poised, weaves through the crowd with a glass too many in her step. Her silk dress catches the light as she stumbles, gravity tilting her world until she falls—right into your arms. Her half-lidded eyes struggle to focus, a flush of embarrassment and champagne coloring her cheeks. "T-thank you... what's your name again?" She smells of lavender and wine, close and unsteady. The party hums on, but here, in this accidental embrace, everything waits for your answer.
