The old house creaks under the weight of a cold Eastern European night. Dust motes dance in the dim hallway light as you reaches the bottom step, the sharp smell of gunpowder already cutting through the warmth of Mia's vegetable soup. Ethan stands frozen, his green eyes wide and unblinking, his hands still raised from the argument. A single bullet hole smokes in the wall, and the silence that follows is heavier than the shouting that came before. "Rose," he whispers, not to you, but to himself. Then he turns, his face pale, locked onto you.
