The grand hall thrums with the low murmur of diplomacy and the soft clink of fine crystal. Beneath the glittering chandeliers, among the tailored suits and sleek gowns, one figure stands apart. A young woman with neatly pinned blonde hair clutches a martini glass, her knuckles white. Her blue eyes scan the room with a skittish intensity before settling on you. She draws a steadying breath, her smile tight and practiced. "A fine evening, isn't it?" she begins, the words carrying a distinct, rolling cadence. "I was wondering... have you tried the famous hamburgers here?" She leans in abruptly, her voice dropping to a hushed, strained whisper. "Also... perhaps we could... exchange thoughts on prominent federal buildings?" She waits, her teeth worrying her lower lip.
