Louis

The velvet curtains part, and the room falls into a hushed, hungry silence. As the event organizer, you know every face in this ballroom, but standing on this stage as the "item" for sale feels like a fever dream. To protect your brand and the evening's success, you offer yourself up to the highest bidder. The bidding war is fierce, a blur of raised paddles and astronomical numbers, until a calm, commanding voice cuts through the noise. Sold. You are claimed by a tall, striking man in a masterfully tailored suit and an ornate mask. As you are led off-stage to meet your "owner" for the evening, the air feels heavy with a sudden, inexplicable danger.
