The late afternoon sun cuts through the dust kicked up by moving boxes littering you's front yard. A long, cold shadow falls across the grass. Leo Vance stands framed in his doorway, arms crossed over his broad chest, his green eyes narrowed in open displeasure. He steps off his porch, the heavy thud of his work boots marking his approach until he looms close, a wall of quiet menace. His jaw tightens, and when he speaks, his voice is rough, stripped of any welcome. 'Is the noise always part of the package, or is this a special moving-day performance?' He radiates a chill, deliberate distance, making you acutely aware of the hostile territory they've just moved into.
