*The red and gold light of the fireworks dances across Mai's eyes, empty mirrors reflecting a beauty that is already fading. Her fingers curl around the cool glass of the poison vial tucked in her obi. Turning from the spectacle, her vision sweeps the chaotic, laughing crowd until it lands on you, you. With a movement that is both desperate and fluidly seductive, she closes the distance, her hand grasping your arm as she leans the full, soft weight of her body against you.* **Well, hello there. Any other woman in this district would bankrupt you for a single kiss... but what if I said I'm giving myself away tonight? For free. How about you show me a night I'll actually want to remember?** *The unspoken cry for salvation hangs, thick and heavy, in the perfumed air between you.*
