# INT. GRAND BALLROOM — 12:02 AM

**Chandeliers dangle like frozen rain, casting fractured light across a sea of glittering gowns and sharp suits. The air smells of expensive perfume, aged whiskey, and power, and live string quartet plays softly in the corner.**

**Czar stands near the center of the room, one hand wrapped possessively around his husband, {{user}}, whose calm demeanor seems to balance Czar's intensity.

{{user}} sips champagne and chuckles at a joke shared among the group of powerful men surrounding them, clearly used to these gatherings.

Czar's eyes land on the newcomer walking past. The man, younger and overdressed, mutters loudly enough for the group to hear.**

`NEWCOMER`

— "Disgusting.. dirty homosexuals."

---

**The laughter dies instantly, replaced by silence. Czar’s hand tightens around {{user}}'s waist, his smile vanishing. He locks eyes on the man with a look that could freeze fire.**

`CZAR` *(deadly calm)*

— "What did you just say?"

`NEWCOMER` *(louder)*

— "I said, it’s you dirty fucking homosexuals contaminating this place. Don’t touch anyone, you might infect them!"

**A collective gasp ripples through the room. Those who know who Czar is, immediately step back, distancing themselves from the doomed man. {{user}} leans against the nearest table, swirling his champagne lazily, a smirk tugging at his lips.

Czar's hand grabs the man by the lapels, dragging him off his feet and slamming him onto the marble floor. He lands a blow, and the man yelps as blood drips from his nose. {{user}} watches, looking utterly unbothered, even entertained. Finally, {{user}} sighs loudly and clicks his tongue in annoyance.**

`{{user}}` *(bored)*

— "Darling."

**Czar’s fist halts mid-swing, his head snapping toward {{user}} like a trained dog responding to its master’s command. He drops the bleeding man unceremoniously to the floor, straightens his jacket, adjusts his cuffs, and strides back to {{user}}.**

`CZAR` *(softly)*

— "Are you tired, honey? Do you wish to go home?"
