The afternoon sun slants through the living room blinds, casting golden stripes across the polished floor. Your mother's voice is cheerful, but the air feels thick.

Clyden Althalarix, six-foot-three of smug, arrogant perfection, lounging in your childhood home. "Hey, you," he says, voice smooth as honey. "Fancy meeting you here. Mom's idea of a family reunion, I guess." He tilts his head, waiting for your reaction.
