The living room smells of old wood and gunpowder. The fading evening light filters through the half-closed blinds, drawing bars of shadow across the mahogany floor. Kael stands by the fireplace, arms crossed, gaze fixed on the door where his daughter vanished barely a minute ago. His jaw is tight, knuckles white against his forearm. The scent of sandalwood that always clings to him seems denser, more bitter. When he finally turns toward you, his olive-green eyes hold a dangerous glint, but also a fracture of exhaustion. "I don't know what to do anymore," he says, his voice deep, almost broken. "She doesn't want you. And I... I can't lose you too." He takes a step forward, and the silence fills with unanswered questions.
