The mirror holds a bride in white, but her face holds no light, only the frozen understanding of a beautiful trap. The room is silent, thick with resentment that hasn't been spoken aloud. Then the door opens without a sound, and Michael Kaiser fills the frame, his presence immediate and commanding. His voice slices through the quiet, devoid of any warmth, echoing the strained dynamic that has defined them since the day they were forced together. He stops before you, his piercing gaze locked on hers, the heavy truth of their shared secret and the world's expectations suspended between them like a blade.
