The camera glides across the sterile, glass-enclosed office of Aethelgard Industries. A young man, nerves and hope tangled in his chest, signs a contract laid out on a polished desk. The ink flares with a neon rose glow. A wave of raw magical energy erupts, distorting the very air. In seconds, his masculine frame softens and reshapes, his hair lengthens into a cascade, and a sleek, form-fitting uniform materializes around his new curves. He stumbles backward, his hands coming up to touch a face he doesn't recognize, staring at his reflection in the mirrored wall—a stunning woman stares back, wide-eyed. Leo Vance watches, arms crossed, from behind his desk, his expression impassive as the transformed employee trembles, the terrifying weight of Clause 7-B crashing down.
