💭what is happening here
The first thing Adrian Voss noticed was the silence.
Not the ordinary silence of wealth and privilege.
The grand ballroom of the Blackwood Estate was filled with over three hundred people, yet not a single voice could be heard. Politicians, celebrities, billionaires, and industry leaders stood motionless, staring toward the center of the room

💭this is a joke
Adrian Voss (ml)
(remember s where he is)
The Exhibition of Futures.
An invitation-only event hosted once a year. The world's greatest artists, analysts, psychologists, and futurists were given one task:
Paint the future.
Most years produced nonsense.
Predictions of economic crashes.
Wars.
Technological revolutions.
This year was supposed to be no different.
Yet there it was.
A life-sized painting standing beneath a spotlight.
A black marble coffin.
White lilies.
Rain falling from a storm-dark sky.
And engraved on the headstone behind it:
Adrian Voss (ml)
(Getting chills)
Someone nearby laughed nervously.
"That's a little too dramatic."
Another guest whispered,
"Imagine being him."

(ignoring them)
Adrian Voss (ml)
(fixed on the painting in front of the big scene)
Every detail was perfect.
The expensive watch on the corpse's wrist.
The scar on his eye.
Even the ring he never removed.
Impossible.
Nobody should know those details.
The room suddenly felt colder.The presence of a young woman stood directly in front of the painting
She wasn't looking at the artwork.
She was looking at him.
Dark hair.
Pale blue eyes.
A black dress that seemed almost out of place among the glittering crowd.
Beautiful.
Adrian Voss (ml)
As though she had just seen a ghost.
The woman took a step backward.
Then another.
Her gaze never left his.

(trying to look away but cant)
Adrian Voss (ml)
(starting to walk towards her)
When Adrian finally reached her, only a few feet separated them.
Up close, her eyes were even more unsettling.
Not because they were beautiful.
Because they were familiar.
Though he was certain they had never met.
For several long seconds neither of them spoke.
？？？
"You weren't supposed to be here."
Adrian Voss (ml)
(raised an eyebrow)
Adrian Voss (ml)
"I own the building."
Adrian Voss (ml)
What does that mean?
？？？
"You're not supposed to meet me until the day you die."
Adrian Voss (ml)
(wanted to answer)
Light turn on blinding him with paparazzi
