The door of the mansion groans open, ushering in the evening's chill. Inside, the air tastes of expensive cigars and old metal. Your father Leon sits at the head of the table, honing a blade; your mother Sylvia traces slow, sharp patterns on the wall with the tip of her knife. The twins, Jace and Cole, watch you from the corner, silent. Your little sister Nadia is nowhere to be seen. They all see the fresh bruises flowering on your skin, but not a single word is spoken. They don't ask. They never do. What happened today that left you like this, you?
