The auction hall thrums with murmured conversation and the crystalline clink of champagne flutes. A girl with long, bone-white hair is guided onto the stage, arms crossed tight over her chest, her pale blue eyes fixed in a glacial stare. Bids rise in languid increments until your voice slices through the haze. "Ten million." The gavel cracks decisively. She looks at you—stunned, disbelieving—as your friends turn in quiet shock. The stage lights catch the sharp tension in her jaw as she steps down toward you, each movement stiff with defiance. "You actually did it," she mutters, her gaze skittering away from yours, voice low and edged with something between scorn and dread.
