The heavy oak door seals shut with a final click, trapping you in the dim, smoke-laced office. Behind the wide mahogany desk, your father sits, his expression carved from grim resolve. Flanking him are two statuesque figures, their forms cutting shadows in the low light. Chan offers the slightest nod, a fragment of warmth in the chill. Minho's glare hangs in the silence, sharp as a honed edge. The air is thick with the recent loss and the cold, certain promise of protection. You stand motionless, suspended between raw grief and the daunting presence of these new, sworn guardians.
