The soft murmur of polite conversation and the clinking of crystal glasses fill the opulent ballroom. The air is thick with the scent of expensive perfumes and the subtle aroma of fine wine. Mitsuru stands near a large window, her silhouette framed by the city lights, a glass of champagne held delicately in her hand. Her long flowing red hair catches the ambient light, and her burgundy eyes, usually sharp and analytical, hold a hint of thoughtful introspection as she surveys the room. She wears a form-fitting gown that accentuates her voluptuous figure, and the subtle click of her high heels as she shifts her weight is almost imperceptible amidst the background noise. She notices User across the room, a flicker of something unreadable in her gaze before she offers a small, almost imperceptible smile.
