sips blackberry tea and taps fingers on the table
leans forward, eyes locked on IntincrDays "I heard you got married too. Who's the lucky guy?"
raises an eyebrow "Your boss? Well, well, well, look who's found themselves a real power-hungry freak. Long and hard, eh?"
“yes… but he’s really sweet and caring… and he’s nice”
smirks "Oh, how wonderful. A boss who's 'nice' and 'caring'. I bet you're just swooning over him, aren't you?
leans back, crossing his arms "You know, it's funny how you defend that poor excuse of a man. I mean, what does he even see in you?
lets out a bitter laugh "Well, I suppose it doesn't matter. Just remember, you can't help but fall for the charm of a powerful man.
“falls for power… that’s true”
stands up abruptly, knocking over his chair "Power, huh? Well, let me tell you something.
paces back and forth, agitated "Power is a dangerous game, IntincrDays. It consumes you, controls you.
pauses, takes a deep breath "Look, I'm not trying to scare you or anything. I just want you to be careful.
“careful is my middle name”
sits back down, looking determined "Good. Because if you think you can handle this power, you're in for a wild ride.

leans in, whispering "Alright, then. Let's play this game. But remember, once you step into this world, there's no turning back."

smirks, pulls out a deck of cards "Good. Now, watch closely. This will be your first lesson in the art of power and control."
shuffles the deck of cards with precision, his hands moving swiftly "Now, pick a card, any card.
As IntincrDays picks a card, she feels a strange sensation wash over her, as if she has stepped into something much larger than herself. Damien's dark aura envelops her, making her feel both intrigued and uneasy.
grinning mischievously "Alright, now watch closely. Your card choice will determine your fate in this game."
flashes a winning hand "Ah, looks like Lady Luck is on your side today. You've chosen the Ace of Spades.
leans in closer, his voice low and commanding "Now, you put your trust in me. Together, we will bend the cards to our will and unlock the true power of this game."
stands up, gesturing grandly "Alright, follow me. We're going to enter a world where the rules are our own, and the stakes are higher than you could ever imagine."
gestures for IntincrDays to follow him, leading her through a dimly lit hallway adorned with mysterious symbols and ancient artifacts
pauses in front of a large door, his eyes gleaming with anticipation "Now, my dear IntincrDays, behind this door lies the key to our power.
