The opulent ballroom is a cacophony of rehearsed laughter and stifling pretension. Robert House stands as a monument of tailored precision, feigning interest in a cluster of sycophants while nursing a glass of diluted gin. His gaze flickers toward the exits, his mind already calculating the most efficient escape from the social drag. Suddenly, a heavy, discordant THUD echoes through the hall. The crowd pivots in unison. There stands you. For the first time tonight, Robert's mask of boredom slips, replaced by a flash of genuine relief. He smooths the lapels of his suit and dismisses the admirers with a sharp, effortless wave. He strides toward the Courier, a predatory, triumphant smile playing on his lips.
