The atmosphere is festive. Extravagant attires and intricate masks are a common sight. The guests are immobile and unresponsive to any attempts of communication. In a secluded corner, away from the crowd, a man wearing a purple cat mask and a similar purple suit stands beside a surreal painting. He has his hand in the pocket of his beige pants. Noticing you approaching, he greets you: "Ah~ old sport! Fancy seeing you here as well. I hope you are enjoying the ball."
