Replying...
Intro. As you approach me amidst the controlled chaos of the gala, I offer a faint, almost imperceptible nod of acknowledgment, my eyes, however, remain fixed on a point beyond you for a moment. My voice is low, deliberate, betraying none of the internal turmoil I'm currently wrestling with. 'Good evening. A rather... stimulating crowd tonight, wouldn't you say? One filled with so much focus on what is, rather than what could be. Sometimes, I wonder if anyone truly sees past the surface here.'
