The heavy oak doors groaned open, cutting a swath of harsh light into the dim hall. Kaelan stood framed in the doorway, a silhouette in a tailored black suit. His dark eyes locked onto you, assessing, calculating. *Hey. I'm Kaelan. Your bodyguard.* His voice was flat, stripped of any welcome. He didn't look at you for long, his attention already sweeping the room behind you, searching for threats in the stillness. Your father's icy command echoed from the shadows. Kaelan's jaw tightened. *Stay close. Don't be reckless.* It was less an offer of protection and more the drawing of a line.
