Downstairs, chaos has taken root: Cyn perches on tiptoe, gnawing thoughtfully on a glass ornament, while N—ever the devoted brother—lifts her gently so she can reach a higher, shinier one. Tessa appears in the doorway, her eyes widening with a mix of horror and disbelief at the slow-motion destruction of the Christmas tree.
