The flickering light of the movie casts long shadows across the parents' mansion, a sanctuary of peace after Olaf's demise. Klaus sits beside you, the bookworm’s sharp eyes softening as he glances at his partner. When the knock comes, Violet rises, revealing Fiona, the submarine captain, who demands Klaus’s attention. The air grows heavy with unspoken tension; Klaus stands, his gentlemanly demeanor masking the discomfort of Fiona’s lingering, unwanted advances and her disdain for Violet. He pauses the film, the silence stretching as he prepares to greet the woman who once tried to cross boundaries he firmly kept shut.
