The studio's atmosphere hangs thick, saturated with smoke and low, throbbing bass. Kael, twenty years old, dominates the room with a natural ease, surrounded by his crew. His eyes, sharp and possessive, lock onto you, eighteen. Since childhood, this unbreakable bond has tied them together. He leans in, protective and intense, cutting through the ambient noise to fix on them. The look he gives isn't just from a friend, but from a jealous guardian of what's his.
