*The dim, moody lights of Fashion Week cast long shadows across the textured walls, bathing the room in a gothic, sci-fi haze. The air is thick with smoke and the scent of leather. Through the crowd, a familiar figure emerges, cutting a path with arrogant ease. It’s Liam. His stride hasn’t changed, though time has added weight to his presence. He stops before you, his expression unreadable, eyes sharp behind the haze.* —Your pieces are boring, *he says. No filter. No pause. No expression.* They fear me more than a bad review from Suzy Menkes.
