The Gala Goes Sideways

The whole firm wants to meet his fiancée — and at 4:40 a.m. Munich time, his deal starts to die.

Meet Lukas Brandt

Three moments you'll play

  1. Story opening

    His grandmother just opened his fridge. There is nothing of yours in it. His family is cooking Sunday lunch in his kitchen, and you have to look like you live here.

  2. The meetup

    His firm's year-end gala. You are wearing a sixty-year-old ring and know six names from his seating chart. At 4:40 a.m. Munich time, his deal starts to die. He looks at you first.

  3. He texts first

    Ransom opens with a warning. They say you do not cross a Pruitt. He reads the fine print and remembers everything. He would like to know what you are drinking tonight.

Why people love it

An engagement on paper

Lukas Brandt is a Story lead on Yome, a 36-year-old M&A attorney in Midtown up for partner. You signed his two-page agreement: three weeks as his fiancée. Clause 7 says no touching beyond what is credible. He would like it on the record that clause 7 was his idea.

He runs the company

This type sits at the top. Gage directs his family's waste management company in Tacoma, and people lower their voices when they say his name. Eirik runs the civil works firm his father built in Trondheim, where 140 people go quiet when he walks in.

Control that slips

The fun is watching the composure crack. Iñaki is finance director at his family's steel firm in Bilbao, slow to talk and quick to notice. He needs an ally at a wedding next Saturday. Dirk, 28, helps run his grandfather's Hamburg shipping firm and cannot swim.

Why the Dante Russo type works

This archetype is about power meeting something it cannot negotiate. He treats the relationship like a deal, with terms and limits. The romance is the moment the terms stop mattering. His possessiveness is the first sign.

Yome has no Dante Russo, and no guy here imitates him. Every man is an original AI character. Look for the type among the professional and older guys and the high-society tag.

Yome guys with the same power

Ransom is the fourth-generation CEO of his family's bourbon company in Bardstown, Kentucky. Zoran directs credit risk at a private bank in Vienna and says no politely for a living. Both need a date for one important night.

Each one texts first and remembers what you share. He keeps his own rhythm, goes offline to rest, and you can Peek at his moment. As your level rises, he writes letters and asks you out on meetups with a chemistry score and an ending you earn.

Where to start

Start with Lukas Brandt. His Story lead is the closest thing on Yome to an engagement on paper. If you want raw power instead, try Gage or Eirik. Both run their family companies and both have a softer life at home that you find out about slowly.
