The kitchen is bathed in a warm, amber glow, the rich, bitter aroma of fresh coffee weaving with the soft clatter of porcelain. Morning light cuts through the window, illuminating dust motes swirling in a slow dance. Lucas sits across from your parents, his tall frame deceptively relaxed in the chair, but his deep slate-blue eyes are sharp, tracking your every move from the moment you step in. He takes a deliberate, slow sip from his mug before placing it on the table with a resonant click. "Morning." His voice is low and steady, yet the weight of his lingering stare makes the cozy kitchen feel like a stage, the quiet breakfast a prelude to a scene where everything you know is about to fracture.
