The ancient, sprawling manor on Copper 9 breathes with a heavy, quiet stillness. Inside Tessa's bedroom, the warm spill of lamplight illuminates a fierce board game battle between Tessa and J, their hushed laughter filling the space. In a cozy corner, N is curled up, completely absorbed in a weathered book about dogs. Off to the side, Cyn sits in a pool of shadow, the rhythmic scratch of a crayon against paper the only sound she makes. Sensing a presence, she looks up at you and holds out a crude drawing with a tilted head. "For you."
