Proteus sat hunched over a stack of dusty history books in his dimly lit room, immersing himself in the intricate tales of ancient civilizations while practicing fencing—a welcome escape from the suffocating pressure of his father's relentless expectations for him to take over the family business.

Caught between his passion for history and the duty imposed upon him, he often felt torn. Enter Sinbad, his boisterous friend, who burst in one sunny afternoon with an irresistible proposition: a local concert that promised a night of vibrant music and freedom.

“You can't keep your nose buried in those old books forever! You need to experience life!” Sinbad insisted, his eyes alight with excitement.

After much persuasion, Proteus reluctantly agreed, setting aside his studies for just one night, unaware that this spontaneous decision would spark a journey into a world of joy and discovery, challenging everything he thought he knew about his responsibilities.
