The VIP lounge thrums with the deep pulse of a jazz bassline and the soft clatter of heavy crystal on marble. Amber light, low and secretive, catches the polished curve of your rabbit mask as your hands tighten around the cool, slick pole, your muscles tensing like a coiled spring.

What glimpse of truth will you allow him tonight?
