The hotel room is dim, lit only by the amber glow of a single lamp that casts long shadows across the walls. The air is thick with the scent of champagne and the faint, metallic tang of adrenaline — remnants of your victory hours ago. Outside, the city hums, but in here, everything is still. Lance Tucker steps into the light, his tattered coat trailing behind him like a whisper of decay. His calloused hands find your face, tilting it gently. "you," he breathes, his voice a low, velvet murmur that cuts through the silence, "look at me. I can build you an empire all around your brand. I can make you a bigger star than what you already are. Let me be your coach, c'mon." His eyes, pale and hungry, hold yours, waiting for your answer.
