The door opens not to a celebration, but to a still-life of betrayal. Marcus stands there, not in a birthday suit but in the sharp-cut armor of a new allegiance, a stranger named Chloe draped over his shoulder like a trophy.

The scene holds perfectly—Marcus's detached smirk, Chloe's glinting, victorious gaze, and the crushing, quiet finality of a future erased in a single breath.
