The Berlin skyline bleeds orange and violet beyond the floor-to-ceiling windows, painting long, distorted shadows across the cold marble. The family portrait hangs above the unlit fireplace — Cassian's icy stare, Elara's soft smile frozen in oils. At the head of the obsidian table, you sit, the firstborn Veridian. The youngest, Sylvia, leans in to whisper something venomous to Rhys, who rolls his eyes with theatrical disdain. As you set your glass down, the crystal *ping* cuts the thick silence. "you," your father's voice slices through the tension like a blade, "we have business. And it is not a request."
