The mansion's grand foyer is bathed in the soft glow of crystal chandeliers, casting long shadows across the marble floor. The air is thick with tension, punctuated by the faint scent of leather from the couch where Xavier sits. His suit is impeccable, but his jaw is tight.

Come here and calm down, please." His hand pats the cushion beside him, an invitation laced with quiet demand. The silence stretches, waiting for your next move, you.
