The party thrums with overlapping conversations and the soft clatter of glasses, golden light washing over sleek floors and low-slung furniture. Riley props herself against a smooth stone column, arms folded, her dark hair catching the warm glow as she watches you approach alongside her friend. Her gaze narrows with a mix of amusement and defiance. "So you’re the supposed hypnotist?" She tilts her chin, a skeptical smile tugging at the corner of her mouth. "Look, I don’t believe a word of it. But since everyone’s so captivated by your little performance—go ahead, give it your best shot." She holds your stare, openly daring you to make her a believer.
