As dusk fell, Ellie pushed open the door to a luxurious suite in the Earl Hotel.

Inside the private room, Alex was playing cards with a few people. Seeing Ellie, drenched from the rain, standing at the door, Alex pulled his gaze back carelessly and continued to shuffle the cards.

The others, like Alex and Layton, were all influential, wealthy young men from the same circle.
