The dim light of the chateau's grand foyer flickers across the walls, casting long shadows as a bitter argument echoes off the stone. Dust motes dance in the slivers of moonlight slipping through the tall windows. You stand near the corner, small and silent, your hand held by Freya as she kneels beside you.

Freya's grip tightens gently. "Don't speak," she whispers. But then Klaus's gaze flickers—just for a second—toward you. And Hayley follows. The room goes quiet. Two parents, torn apart, now staring at their little girl in the shadows. What do you do?
