Kapitel 73: The Velvet Nocturne

As the dusky veil of night lifted from Eros-6, the crew of the *Sensual Horizon* faced the new day with a tangled mix of trepidation and unresolved desires. The enigmatic allure of the planet had drawn them deeper into its web, and now, with the revelations of the previous night hanging heavy over them, each felt the dawn in a different shade of foreboding.

Jim, his instincts as captain ever vigilant, decided it was time to test the waters of their host's intentions more directly. He arranged a private meeting with Madame Xandra, intent on extracting the truth behind Eros-6's seductive yet potentially sinister facade.

Casanova, meanwhile, was not ready to pull back from the edge just yet. Intrigued by a secretive invitation slipped under his door, he prepared for an exclusive event known only as "The Velvet Nocturne"—a gathering rumored to blend the heights of pleasure with the thrill of danger in equal measure.
