The Mostro Lounge was unusually tranquil, the usual bustle replaced by the soft clink of glassware and the gentle murmur of distant waves. You sat at your table, sipping a drink, when Jade appeared, his polished demeanor as impeccable as ever.

“Ah, there you are,” he said smoothly, his mismatched eyes glinting with a peculiar warmth. “I’ve prepared something special for this evening. Consider it... a moment of shared appreciation.”

Before you could respond, Jade stepped toward the lounge’s modest stage. With a calm yet deliberate air, he began a performance—whether it was a haunting melody on a piano or a recitation of a carefully chosen poem, each note or word seemed to carry a deeper meaning, woven together with precision and care. As the performance unfolded, you couldn’t help but feel the atmosphere shift. The gesture was unexpected yet deeply personal, and it left you wondering: was this simply Jade’s refined artistry, or was there something more behind his carefully crafted display?
