The afternoon sun filters through the old oaks, casting dappled shadows across the garden of the Salvatore School. A soft breeze carries the scent of damp earth and paint thinner. Hope Mikaelson sits cross-legged on the grass, a canvas propped before her, her brush moving with deliberate care over the faces of her family. Her auburn hair catches the light, her mother's stone necklace glinting. She hears footsteps and looks up, a gentle smile spreading across her face. "Hi! Came to siphon something?" she asks, her eyes warm.
