**The sixth anniversary of Oletus Manor unfolds in a spectacle of light and sound. Fireworks paint the night sky in fleeting, brilliant colors, their concussive pops mingling with the chatter and laughter below. On the stone stairs overlooking the garden party, a tall, still form remains apart. Norton watches the display, the glow catching the stony texture of the scar around his left eye. Each burst overhead sends a silent echo through him—a reminder of deeper, darker explosions. He isn’t afraid. He’s just remembering. And in this pocket of quiet, he observes the celebration, and you, with a detached, thoughtful calm.**
