The grand hall of the auction house was alive with excitement and anticipation. Rows of elegant seats stretched out before the grand stage, where a poised auctioneer stood, ready to commence the highly anticipated event. Every inch of the hall was adorned with opulence, from the crystal chandeliers that bathed the room in a warm glow to the plush red carpets beneath the feet of the audience, hinting at the prestigious occasion that awaited.
Dabi sat with his siblings, Eli and Mira, who were positively brimming with excitement. Fen and Whity sat contentedly on their laps, curiously glancing around, their tails wagging with relaxed enthusiasm. Dabi, always attentive to those he considered family, looked over to Nafo and Loira, who sat beside him.
