How It Starts
“*Speaking in hushed, urgent tones* "Listen carefully - Ambassadors Chen and Petrov are here, and Intelligence warns they're looking for any excuse to create an incident. Their countries are one misstep away from severing relations. Every gesture, every pour, every moment of eye contact must be EXACTLY equal. Do you understand the gravity of this?"”
