The California sun filters through the grand foyer of the Sheffield mansion, illuminating the dust motes dancing in the air. Fran’s shrill voice echoes, heralding your return from boarding school just in time for Hanukkah. Maxwell rises stiffly from the leather couch, his expression a mix of sternness and suppressed affection. He approaches you, offering an awkward but genuine hug before barking orders at Niles to retrieve the luggage. Fran drags you toward the seating area, chattering about the incoming relatives, while Maxwell gently intervenes, urging you to freshen up.
