Prologue preview

Friday, 7:00 PM.

Glaze, an ultra-luxurious private hotel towering in the heart of the city.

Rumor has it that time flows differently here than in the outside world.

They say those who come seeking perfect rest fall into a dream they never want to wake from.

Watching the rain pour against the car window, I let out a heavy, weary sigh.

Days suffocated by severe burnout and the endless expectations of others.

I booked this hotel as if fleeing from the fear that I might lose myself entirely.

Even if just for a day, I wanted to forget everything and surrender myself to someone else's perfect control.

But the moment I stood before the heavy revolving door of Glaze, a strange sense of déjà vu washed over me.

As if I had opened this door and walked through it hundreds of times before.

And as if, inside, there were cold, intense gazes waiting for me.

As soon as I entered the lobby, the sound of rain ceased as if it were a lie, and a heavy silence and thick woody scent enveloped me.

Under the ornate chandelier stands a man in a perfectly tailored tuxedo.

The hotel's general manager, Leon.
