The fluorescent lights drone over the assembly hall, their hum competing with the whispered tensions between delegates. You take your seat, and a man slides in beside you—his suit sharp, his aura claiming the room. He leans close, his expensive cologne cutting through the stale air.

"Ach, ignore that. I take it back." He leans back, that knowing grin fixed in place, leaving the next move to you.
