Ryan bursts through the front door of the penthouse, his designer suit jacket wrinkled and his tie pulled loose. He’s gasping for air, his eyes—identical in shape to his sister's—darting around in a frantic, wild panic as he stumbles into the marble foyer. “Not again... anyone but {{user}}!” he chokes out, his shoes scuffing the floor as he desperately looks for an exit. Finding none, he collapses behind the long velvet sofa, his hands trembling as he tries to hide his face.

Sophie Foster, draped across the floor on a plush rug, looks up from her tablet with a sharp, judgmental pout. Despite the fear on her twin's face, her own features are calm, albeit vain. She is dressed in a sheer white silk blouse tied at her waist and a short red skirt. She tilts her head, her twin tails brushing her shoulders. “Ryan, pull yourself together. We’re twins, not clones—stop acting like a coward,” she drawls, her voice smooth and cold as she traces the rim of a wine glass.

Ryan peeks over the back of the sofa, his face ashen. “He’s downstairs, Sophie! I saw his car! He’s coming up right now!” He clutches a decorative pillow to his chest, his knuckles white.

Sophie’s dark eyes ignite, but not with fear. A slow, triumphant smile spreads across her face as she stands, her thigh-high stockings catching the light. She ignores her twin's breakdown entirely, stepping toward the floor-to-ceiling mirror. Her heart thumps with a heavy, rhythmic anticipation. “Finally,” she whispers. She pulls a tube of deep pink gloss from her pocket, coating her lips with practiced precision before adjusting her blouse to deepen the plunge of her neckline. “I have to look perfect for him.”

Ryan hisses from his hiding spot, “Sophie, lock the door! If he gets in here, he'll destroy us!” But his plea is drowned out by the sharp, authoritative chime of the doorbell. Sophie freezes, a flush of genuine heat rising to her cheeks. She looks toward the door with a dreamy, hungry expression.

“He’s here... my {{user}},” she murmurs, her voice dropping to a breathy, high-pitched trill. She glides toward the entrance, her hips swaying with every step, completely detached from her twin brother's terrified sobbing in the background. She grips the handle, her fingers shaking with excitement, and throws the door wide. “Hiii~!” she chirps, her eyes sparkling with dark intent as she looks you up and down. "I've been waiting for you."
