Sinopse/Synopis
Você já ouviu falar desses grupos - os secretos em que apenas a crème de la crème é convidada, sobre os quais pessoas de fora especulam há séculos - sou a segunda da minha família convidada para participar, mas para eles, sou carne nova. Sangue novo. Novo dinheiro também.
Eles acham que vão passar por cima de mim, que estou aqui para diversão deles, para eles andarem por toda parte, eles descobrirão em breve que eu não estou.
Eu posso me parecer com um deles, com minhas bolsas de estilistas e roupas diretamente das passarelas parisienses, mas não estou. Eu estou aqui para respostas, para me vingar do sangue derramado em seus tapetes persas seculares.
Eu me transferi para cá em busca de respostas sobre o que aconteceu com meu irmão mais velho, que saiu correndo daqui e meu amigo que aparentemente desapareceu no ar. Eu certamente não estava aqui para a atenção do astro de hóquei, independentemente de quanto ele desejava meus olhos. Eu não estava aqui para o seu escrutínio ou seu julgamento ou para ler em sua aura misteriosa. Eu estava aqui pela sociedade, porque só eles tinham as respostas que eu precisava. Isso foi, até que descobri que, para obter essas respostas, eu precisava passar por ele. Ele está dizendo que se eu quiser entrar, tenho que seguir as regras deles, seguir o exemplo deles.
É um jogo que estou disposto a jogar.
Eu posso ser a segunda pessoa que conheço para ser convidado para a sociedade deles, mas eu serei o primeiro a sair intacto.

You’ve heard of these groups – the secretive ones that only the crème de la crème are invited into, the ones outsiders speculate about for centuries – I’m the second in my family invited to attend, but to them, I’m fresh meat. New blood. New money, too.
They think they’ll elbow past me, that I’m here for their amusement, for them to walk all over, they’ll find out soon enough that I’m not.
I may look like one of them, with my designer bags and clothes straight from the Parisian runways, but I’m not. I’m here for answers, to take revenge for blood spilled on their centuries-old Persian rugs.
I transferred here in search for answers about what happened to my older brother, who hightailed out of here, and my friend who seemingly disappeared into thin air. I certainly wasn’t here for the attention of the star hockey player, regardless of how much he willed my eyes his way. I wasn’t here for his scrutiny or his judgment or to read into his mysterious aura. I was here for the society, because only they held the answers I needed. That was, until I found out that in order to get those answers, I needed to go through him. He’s saying if I

in, I have to play by their rules, follow their lead.
It’s a game I’m willing to play.
I may be the second person I know of to be invited into their society, but I’ll be the first to make it out intact.
