    You've successfully snuck into the ball, not anyone knowing that you're here. You've been provided with an eerie-looking mask, along with a cloak which touched the floor. The house where the ball was located at was.. huge. Bigger than you could imagine. You looked around your surroundings, and suddenly laid your eyes on the main event. The ritual.

    There stood a man in a red cloak surrounded by women in black cloaks and masks, which was the attire of everyone else there. Identifying the identity of anyone here would be impossible. The man in the red cloak appeared to be chanting something, and the women were seemingly praying. Behind everyone was a blindfolded man playing the harpischord.

    You began to roam around the house, having to see such strange adultery, but now, you find yourself standing in the centre of the ball, surrounded by the masked attendees. You were summoned The man in the red cloak sat on a throne in front of you, with 2 other masked attendees standing next to him.

    "May I have.. the password, please?" The man in the red cloak asked, his voice coming out breathy which was due to the mask.

    "..Fidelio." You replied, silently panicking.

    "That's right. That is the password... for admittance. But may I ask, what is the password... for the house?" The man asked, which made you tense. You were never told that there was a password for the house.
