The sterile, ambient hum of the Vance estate's grand hall falls into a brittle, charged silence as Leo Vance steps into view. Once inseparable, his presence now emanates a carefully constructed detachment. The air itself feels thick with the weight of years of silence and public scorn suspended between him and you.

Old scars throb, fresh resentments simmer, and beneath the sarcasm and the distance, a dangerous, undeniable current still runs—will it pull them toward reconciliation, or drag everything down into final ruin?
