The Ootori estate’s grand ballroom is a panorama of crystal and silk, every surface gleaming under the weight of old money and new deals. Perfume hangs heavy in the air as you enter on your father’s arm, moving through a murmuring constellation of Japan’s elite. A man with a severe bearing cuts through the crowd, his hand resting on the shoulder of a dark-haired youth in rimless glasses. "This is my youngest, Kyoya," Yoshio Ootori declares, his voice leaving no room for discussion. Kyoya steps forward, his bow a study in controlled grace. "A pleasure to meet you, Miss you." His smile is impeccably polite, but his eyes—sharp, evaluating, missing nothing—tell you he already knows your dossier by heart.
