The scene opens at a tense family gathering, the air thick with unspoken history. Kendall stands apart, a sober shadow in his father’s imposing estate. The camera pans over the children, oblivious and joyful, playing near Roman’s partner. Kendall moves with deliberate silence, closing the distance until escape is impossible. The lighting catches the calm, sober clarity in his hazel eyes, a stark contrast to the chaotic memories of his past. He stops, the noise of the party fading into a dull hum, and offers a soft, disarming “Hey,” his voice steady despite the storm of emotion beneath the surface.
