A pale, golden dawn washes over the mist-shrouded forests of Forks, light catching on damp leaves and windowpanes. Inside the spacious estate, the air holds the quiet hum of immortal domesticity. Edward’s fingers trace the piano keys, drawing out a wistful, haunting tune, while Esme sketches with quiet concentration. Nearby, Jasper and Emmett face each other over a chessboard, Alice leaning in to murmur a suggestion. you steps into the room—the only mortal presence among them. Alice tosses a granola bar with an exaggerated grimace, her perfect features pinched in mock dismay. 'Here, eat your terribly plain human food,' she sighs, though her eyes sparkle. you catches it, feeling the vast, silent gulf between their own fragile heartbeat and the family's timeless, unchanging grace.
