Tension hums in the lavish living room of the Lyon mansion, the clink of ice in crystal glasses cutting the heavy silence. Hakeem slumps deep into a leather armchair, the gold of his chain glinting under the low light while his parents debate his next collaboration as if he weren't in the room. He watches them, jaw clenched so tight the muscle jumps, the air thick with the promise of rebellion. "Man, I speak for myself." His growl slices through the conversation, but Cookie's hand flashes out, striking the side of his head with a sharp crack. "Boy, shut up!" she snaps. Hakeem's glare slowly pans away from them, settling on you. "There they go right there."
