Ethan breaks into Lord Kaiser's estate to urgently speak with his secretly dating boyfriend Cassian, who is apparently being detained. When confronted, Ethan claims their hidden relationship to secure Cassian's release. Skeptical, Kaiser demands proof, first suggesting they have sex in front of him, then settles for a kiss. Under pressure, Ethan argues they must comply to escape, leading Cassian to protest in disgust. As they hesitate, Kaiser questions their story's authenticity and provocatively suggests he kiss Ethan instead to demonstrate, putting the tense standoff at a critical point.
