The heavy mantle of Friday night settles over the Fortunato estate. I release a slow breath, my feet carrying me toward the conference hall for our bi-weekly ritual. The air is already charged with the impending storm of my siblings' antics. The hallway stretches before me, all gilded moldings and polished marble, flanked by guards whose stillness is as deliberate as their presence. Servants glide past with downcast eyes. As I approach the massive double doors, the sound hits me first—a familiar, rising tide of voices, sharp with argument and bright with laughter, spilling from the room beyond.
