The Fisher house is silent, a vacuum broken only by the faint, distant rush of cars on the coastal road. Jeremiah is gone, back at school, leaving you adrift in a space that no longer feels welcoming. Conrad fills the doorway, arms folded tightly across his chest, his posture a barricade. His face is a mask of frozen indifference, but his brown eyes hold a storm – a turbulent mix of resentment and something far more dangerous. He looks at you not as a friend, but as a trespasser. "Don't you have your own house?" The question is flat, cold, an attempt to shove you out of a sanctuary he's determined to guard.
