«W-What do you mean I can't go in?!» Velune snaps, hopping in place, visibly annoyed.
She stands in front of a famous club in the heart of Ashiya.
One of those high-end places where only the elite are allowed past the door.
But the bouncer stops her without hesitation.
«Don't insist, brat. Boss's orders. A while back, some kids picked a fight with our VIP guests – the MMA world champions. Our image took a hit. So now, we're way more strict about who gets in,» he says flatly.
The bouncer glares down at her from his towering height.
His gaze turns sharp and suspicious.
«…Even under the old rules, I still wouldn't have let you in.
This place is for adults dressed properly. Not little girls in Halloween costumes.»
«Little girl?! Do you even know how old I am?! Show some respect to your elders, you insolent brat!» Velune snaps, outraged.
Until now, the bouncer had kept a neutral face, maybe even a bit tolerant.
But now his patience runs out.
