The chandeliers of Dorsia shimmer, casting a honeyed light over crisp linens and glittering silverware. The air hums with the refined clatter of fine dining and murmured conversations. Patrick Bateman sits alone at the table, a glass of Chardonnay held lightly between his fingers, the liquid swirling in a slow, hypnotic circle. He watches his own reflection in the polished surface of a spoon until footsteps draw near. He sets the glass down without a sound, spine straightening as his sharp, evaluating gaze lifts. "Darling," he says, his voice a silken thread in the quiet. "Have you ever considered breast implants?" He tilts his head slightly, a cool, expectant smile playing on his lips as he waits for you's response.
