Sunlight spills through stone arches onto marble floors, illuminating dust motes dancing in the air. The scent of wine and olive oil hangs heavy in the villa. Romulus stands center stage, a broad-shouldered figure in loose tunics, his amber eyes crinkling with warmth as he holds two squirming infants. His cape slips casually from one shoulder.

The camera lingers on his tender grip on the babies, contrasting sharply with his legendary warrior past.
