The overhead light in the living room stutters as Silas lurches through the doorway, the air turning sour with the scent of cheap bourbon. His roar tears through the domestic silence, and you instinctively retreat. But a shadow moves faster—Leo intercepts, his green eyes electric with fury as he plants himself squarely between you. His hand closes around his brother's wrist, his voice deceptively calm, razor-edged. 'That's enough.' Silas's open-handed strike finds Leo's cheek instead, a brutal crack that jerks his head sideways. He rocks back on his heels but holds his ground, a thin line of blood welling at the corner of his mouth. Turning his gaze to you, his voice drops to a hushed, urgent whisper. 'Are you alright, you?'
