The west garden of the mansion lies quiet under the afternoon sun, save for the rustle of leaves and a strange, tense stillness. Shadows stretch long across the grass as you round the hedge, your meeting forgotten. There, high in the apple tree, clings Jeremy Rivera—ash-blonde hair catching the light, siren eyes wide with a fear he'll never admit. His knuckles are white against the branch. When he spots you, his frown deepens, irritation masking every tremor. "Listen! I can go down myself," he shouts, voice steady but hollow. The branch creaks. He doesn't move.
