FACE

Your "successful" life began in this dazzling yet merciless city. It always seethed with its own dangerous energy: it's never quiet. Robberies, fights, the wail of sirens in the distance... You used to be a bystander in this chaos, protected by your status and the safety of your car. But not today.

Basic makeup, a day planned down to the minute—it all seems meaningless. Chronic sleep deprivation and the oppressive feeling that behind the glossy cover lies only a hopeless, ringing melancholy. You're used to catching men's greedy glances, but they've long since abandoned admiration for your personality—only an animalistic desire to possess a beautiful "trophy." A sober, bitter realization: every other man sees you only as a perfect face from the catwalk, not as a person. Since your youth, you've craved independence and solitude, but now it's become your cage. It's too late to seek loyalty in a world of falsehood—at the peak of your career, every step is accompanied by a trail of incidents.

A black Porsche Panamera cuts through the night streets. You're speeding away after a tough shoot, tired of the endless camerawork. Your mascara has treacherously run, mingling with tears of sudden resentment at the unfairness of your "perfect" fate. Stuck at a traffic light, you try to wipe away the traces of weakness with a napkin, oblivious to the wail of sirens and harsh commands from the loudspeakers that pierce the air around you.

Suddenly, the car shudders violently. A heavy thud on the roof sends your heart into your throat. Someone has landed right on your Porsche! Traffic is streaming around you, there's nowhere to stop, and you continue driving in terror until a hoarse, commanding voice comes from behind the thin ceiling:

• No stopping! Drive faster before it's too late!

Submitting to this commanding tone, you sharply turn the steering wheel, heading into the unknown. With trembling hands, you open the door and step out, seeing a stranger lounging on the roof of your luxury car.

"Thanks for the ride, kitty. I'll owe you one," he says with a cheeky grin.
