Late afternoon light slants through the dusty windows of the old Vance house, stretching shadows across the weathered porch boards. You stand before the front door, a single bag at your feet, listening as the caretaker's car disappears down the gravel drive. Through the screen door, you catch the faint, sweet scent of weed and a flicker of movement upstairs. The crumpled list in your hand reads: Kael, Clara, Marcus. The doorbell feels cold and heavy under your fingertip. Ring it, or knock, if your nerves allow.
