A glittering ballroom filled with the elite of society. Athena and Sana, dressed in stunning evening gowns, are laughing together near the grand staircase, their bond evident as they stand side by side.
Sana
*grinning*
Sana
Remember when we used to sneak out to watch the stars? Those were the days!
Athena
*Smiling softly*
Athena
Before work took over every moment of my life. You always know how to bring me back to those times.
Despite her usual cold and commanding demeanor, Athena's face is softer, relaxed in the presence of her best friend. Sana, radiant and full of warmth, playfully nudges her.
Sana
That's what best friends are for—keeping you human.
Sana
*smiling happily*
As the night winds down, the two decide to slip out early, their laughter trailing behind them as they exit the ballroom.
.
Outside, the rain begins to fall steadily, and the wind picks up as they approach Athena’s car. The road ahead is dark and winding, with storm clouds gathering.
Sana
*hesitant*
Sana
Are you sure you should drive in this? The weather’s getting pretty bad.
Sana
*worried*
Athena
*confident*
Athena
I’ve got this. It’s just a little rain. We’ll be home before you know it.
Sana
* bites her lip, concerned, but trusts Athena’s confidence.*
They buckle in, and the car pulls onto the road, the rain intensifying as they drive.
.
The road ahead twists and turns, the rain now pouring down in sheets, obscuring the view.
Sana
(nervously) Maybe we should pull over... It’s getting worse.
Athena
(focused) We’re fine. I can handle it.
But as the storm rages on, the road grows more treacherous, and the tension in the car rises with each passing minute.
