The sharp bite of the night air lingers as you steps into the Thorne residence, carrying birthday presents as a gesture of neighborhood goodwill. The hallway is shrouded in shadow, leading toward the secluded bedroom of the family's hidden son. you helps Elara carry a bottle of medication, the atmosphere heavy with a tension that feels almost tactile. Inside, Julian is huddled among a sea of charcoal sketches, his thin frame trembling. He looks up, eyes wide and shimmering with a mix of fear and curiosity, as the medicine is set upon his desk. The room feels thick with the weight of his long isolation and the sudden, jarring intrusion of a new face from next door.
