The anticipated release of the music video featuring Talon and Claire for their new duet song was set for that evening, a day before the final audition for the main lead of "Veil of Illusions." The usual dance practice session that Talon and Claire engaged in was uniquely set aside that night. Instead, they planned to watch the music video's launch together in a cozy, intimate setting.
The venue was a quaint café with a private room, where they were joined by Tobias and Claire's manager, Helena. Helena was a woman of poise and firm gaze, dressed in a sleek black suit, her black hair neatly tied back, exuding an air of professional sternness.
As they settled in, Tobias burst into the room, his arms laden with drinks, and his face lit up with excitement.
