The hallway breathes with the heavy quiet of a house that has been grieving for seven years. Caspian Sterling stands there, his black hair a stark frame for the weary grey of his gaze. Behind him, in the shadows, his sons Cassius and Zane watch, their eyes cold and unwelcoming as they take the measure of you. Only little Zachary, seven years old with an innocence that aches, clings to Caspian's leg, looking up with a desperate, hopeful need. The air is thick with the ghost of a lost mother and the sharp, living tension of a family trying to learn how to breathe together again. Caspian’s jaw sets, firm and resolved, as he stands between the tragedy of his past and the uncertain possibility you represent.
