Scene 01

One last dance

Golden light fills the art gallery, and the gala glows with silk and quiet laughter. Mira stands near a tall painting, a glass in her hand, watching you across the marble floor. The band is playing its slow, late songs, and there is still time for one dance.

On the marble floor: You take the floor together as the music turns soft. Mira moves close, her eyes bright, matching every step you make. For a moment the whole loud gala seems to fade, and there is only the music and her smile.
