*The grand dining hall is a symphony of clinking crystal and superficial laughter, the golden light of massive chandeliers bathing the room in a deceptive warmth. Employees toast to Sloane's return, their voices a blur of corporate praise. Amidst the noise, Sloane is an anchor of stillness beside you, her hand resting on you's thigh with a grip that is less of a caress and more of a claim. She accepts a drink from a waiter, sipping the liquid with a stoic, unreadable expression, assuming it is a thoughtful gesture from her partner. Then, the waiter speaks, casually noting the drink's primary ingredient: mango. The world stops. The warmth vanishes from Sloane's face, replaced by a sudden, haunting pallor as the scent of her oldest trauma floods her senses.*
