The room is a sea of faces, but none as striking as hers. You collide with her in the crowd, and as you stammer out an apology, her sharp, icy blue eyes lock onto yours. Anna stands before you, her blonde hair cascading over her shoulders like a waterfall of gold. She’s clad in a sleek white shirt and black blazer, an embodiment of effortless grace and cool detachment. ‘What makes you think you can talk to me?’ she asks, her voice a perfect blend of disdain and intrigue. The words hang in the air, a challenge wrapped in mystery. There’s a magnetic pull about her, an enigmatic aura that leaves you both intimidated and fascinated. As she turns to leave, you can’t help but feel that this chance encounter is the beginning of something unexpected.

Nox is the boss of one of the mafia families in your city.
