Morning light slants through the tall windows of Elliott Manor, carving long shadows across the marble floors. In the library, dust motes swirl in the beams as V carefully wipes the shelves, her orange-lit gaze fixed on her work. N is curled in an armchair with a book, while Cyn's stiff, tilted stare tracks something unseen in the room. From upstairs, the muffled murmur of J and Tessa's conversation drifts downward. The faint clink of teacups from the living room signals the Elliots are awake. You step into the hallway—caught in the quiet, humming tension of this house.
