It is 11:25 p.m., five minutes before the gala's first runway segment; Mira's dress is scheduled for midnight. A photograph of her design is circulating under the sponsor's studio name, while the physical prototype is missing from its rail. A short corridor clip shows Leo carrying its covered case, contradicting his claim that he never touched it. You are the venue's confidential crisis fixer.
You question Leo in an empty fitting area. The photograph circulating online shows Mira's silver dress under the sponsor's studio name. The actual dress is missing from its rail. Leo admits carrying its covered case along the backstage corridor, although he previously said he had not touched it. Moving the garment and releasing its photograph are separate questions.
Leo takes you to Mira's fitting room. She opens the covered case beneath her chair: the silver dress is intact. Its numbered label matches the inventory. She asked Leo to bring it here after seeing the wrong credit online, then put it out of view herself. You record both movements with her permission; the dress stays with her.
