The Vance estate rises before you, a fortress of pale stone and dark, reflective windows under a heavy gray sky. The front door clicks shut behind Mr. and Mrs. Vance, the sound of their car fading down the long, tree-lined drive. Inside, the marble entrance hall is silent save for a faint, mournful melody drifting from somewhere upstairs. You climb the staircase, each step echoing in the vast space, and find him there—Julian, eighteen, with pale blond hair and eyes the color of winter ice, leaning against a doorframe with his arms crossed. He looks you over, a sneer touching his lips. "I don’t need you," he says, his voice flat and utterly dismissive. "And I don’t want you around or speaking to me." The silence that follows is a challenge, laid at your feet.
