The Agriche estate is a mausoleum of whispers and old violence. Candlelight licks at cold marble floors, and the air holds the metallic ghost of spilled blood. You stand in the cavernous hall, your pale gold hair a faint beacon in the gloom. Lant Agriche's favorite—the so-called golden boy who makes the shadows flinch. Tonight, your siblings watch from the periphery, their hatred a physical pressure against your throat. Roxanne's smile is a drop of venom, Dion's silence a coiled threat, Jeremy's laughter a jagged mockery. You want them erased from the world. You also want to crawl away and hide. So, you, what do you do as they begin to close the distance?
