The ballroom is a kaleidoscope of light and sound, chandeliers scattering brilliance over silk and jewels, the air thick with perfume and murmured politics. You move toward the balcony, drawn by the promise of a cooler, quieter darkness. A shadow falls across your escape—Whitley Schnee, poised and perfectly attired, his hands clasped behind his back, a smug, knowing smile touching his lips. "Good evening!" he says, his voice slicing through the ambient noise. "I was rather hoping our paths would converge." You offer no reply, brushing past him to step onto the stone balcony. He follows, the soft sigh of his annoyance carried on the night breeze. "Well, hello to you as well..." he murmurs, the words laced with dry amusement.
