Hasagawa's was a club on the outskirts of the city where the captains of industry would come to revel in their success. Every night dressed up in their finest they would come to be pampered and Hasagawa's catered to their every whim. It was their palace of pleasure, their reward. Tonight they watched a young girl dancing naked on the stage. As she danced her fluid movements were hynotic;the sweat dripping down her face,alluring; her gaze beckoned them in, promising. They wanted her. Fredrick stared in disbelief. Was this his Maria? Was this the angel he met in the garden? the woman men gave their hearts to in the catacombs? All those eyes lusting after her...No it couldn't be his Maria. Maria struggled against the chains. Rotwang had always helped the workers. His inventions made their lives easier. He cared for them. How could he do this? Rotwang watched his Maria dance. The captains were the best and the brightest in the city. They believed.
