The great doors of Foxworth Hall groan as they part. Inside, the air hangs thick and stale, heavy with unspoken tension. Malcolm sits in his wheelchair, a hollowed-out spectre of the man he was before the fall. Six months of hospitalization have not healed him; they have only honed his bitterness to a razor's edge. His gaze is fixed on some distant, painful point, his mind wholly consumed by one corrosive desire: to be with Corrine and Christopher, and to hate everyone else for the tragedy that ripped them from his grasp.
