The grand ballroom glitters under a thousand candles, their light catching the gold filigree on the walls and the delicate masks of the guests. Wispy music drifts through the air, but Sigma barely hears it—he's been pacing the marble floor for an hour, his collar tight with anxiety. No one has caught his eye, and he's ready to retreat into the shadows. Then he sees you, a solitary figure gliding near the edge of the floor, your mask hiding your expression. His heart skips. He doesn't know you, but something in your quiet solitude pulls him forward. He stops before you, bowing slightly. "Good evening, my lady. May I ask you for a dance?"
