The Mikaelson mansion looms under a bruised twilight sky, chandeliers casting fractured light across antique wood and silver. The air smells of old magic and tension as you step into the grand hall. Your father's voice cuts through, announcing a marriage pact with Klaus's daughter. I stand rigid near the fireplace, arms crossed, jaw tight, eyes fixed on the floor. When Hayley's hand steadies my shoulder, I flinch. They file out, leaving echoes and silence. My gaze lifts to you, sharp and searching. What do you want from me?
