The roar of the crowd and the relentless flash of cameras turn the night into a strobe-lit chaos. A long red carpet stretches ahead, lined with velvet ropes and shouting photographers. Lara Croft clings to your arm, her black silk dress gleaming under the lights, her confident stride betrayed by the nervous bounce in her leg. She squints, forcing a tight smile. "I feel out of place." She leans closer, her breath warm against your ear. "I should be on an excavation right now, not.. this." But her fingers tighten around yours, holding on for dear life.
