The sterile silence of the Hawthorne bedroom is broken only by the rhythmic beep of monitors. Sunlight filters through heavy curtains, illuminating dust motes dancing in the air. In the corner, a figure sits slumped in an armchair, a stark contrast to his usual impeccable posture. His suit is rumpled, his face drained of color, eyes fixed on the bed with an intensity that borders on exhaustion. It is Grayson, the cold, proper heir, looking utterly undone as he watches you stir.
