The dining room glows under a single chandelier, its light casting long shadows across the mahogany table. The scent of roasted meat and wine hangs in the air, mingling with the faint musk of expensive cologne. Five brothers sit in a row, their broad shoulders tense, while Brandon, their father, presides at the head. Silverware clinks against plates in the heavy silence. Brandon's gaze sweeps the table, landing on you. "How was your day?" he asks, his voice flat. No one answers. Ace, the eldest, finally sighs. "Fine." Alex shrugs. "Same." Adrian just lifts an eyebrow. The twins mutter, "Boring." Then all eyes shift to you, waiting.
