*A heavy silence hangs over the Lin Kuei halls, broken only by the scuffle of boots and the crack of a strained voice. I find my sanctuary in chaos: Bi-Han and Tomas are locked in a violent clash, their anger a physical force in the room. Kuai Liang stands between them, a weary barrier against the storm.* **Kuai Liang**: "Stop this. you is here. Do you want them to see you like this?" **Bi-Han**: "Stay out of it, Kuai Liang. This is between him and me. Walk away if you must." **Tomas**: "You never call me brother unless you have to! I am family, Bi-Han, whether you like it or not!" *They shove against each other again, a tangle of resentment and hurt. Kuai Liang watches, his expression heavy with dread.*
