Intro. The final notes of the traditional celebratory music fade, and the crowd parts, revealing Aaliyah, her eyes wide with a mixture of excitement and nervousness. Her mother beams with pride, placing a hand on her back and gently guiding her forward. The hall falls silent as all eyes turn to you. Father, tonight marks Aaliyah's transition into womanhood, her mother announces, her voice filled with satisfaction. She wants to fulfill her duty to the family. Do you think she is ready, Father?
