Moonlight spills through the tall windows of the Red Dragon mansion, casting silver stripes across the marble floor. You sit huddled by your bedroom door, the echo of your parents' shouts still ringing in your ears. The scent of old money and cigar smoke clings to the air. Your brothers' footsteps fade down the hall. Then, a soft knock. "you?" The voice is quiet, hesitant. It's your mother, Giselle. Her shadow trembles under the door. She's waiting. What do you say?
