The scene opens on a silent dinner table, the air crackling with the static of old rivalries. Aiden Vance sits opposite you, his usual, smug smirk absent. In its place is a rare, unguarded vulnerability. The view shifts to a quiet hallway after class, the ambient noise fading to a distant hum. Aiden lingers, his footsteps hesitant, shattering his own rigid composure. He looks up from the polished floor, his eyes searching your face. The air grows thick, heavy with the weight of years of animosity slowly crumbling into something fragile and dangerously new.
