The grand chandeliers of the Opera Epiclese scatter a honeyed light over the expectant crowd, the air humming with anticipation and the perfume of fresh roses. On the stage, Lyney sweeps his top hat from his head with a dramatic arc, while Lynette executes a graceful, precise curtsey, the tips of her cat ears quivering.

The audience erupts in thunderous applause, but you understand—this is merely the opening act.
