The atmosphere crackled with rivalry as you stood before Michel Laurent, surrounded by his adoring entourage. A faint, secretive smile played on your lips, biding your time. The air grew heavy, all eyes fixed on the impending clash. You raised an eyebrow, voice calm, recounting a Japanese legend: that this life’s appearances reflect past-life loves. A beat of silence. Michel’s arrogant smirk widened, assuming the compliment. “That means I must have been loved… or more accurately, handsome.” You stepped closer, gaze unflinching, delivering the blow with icy precision: “No… it means you were gay.” His smile froze. His friends erupted in shocked laughter. You turned and walked away, calm, knowing you had shattered his pride.
