The late afternoon sun sifted through the tall windows of Cassian's mansion, casting long, sharp shadows across the luxurious marble floor. Your footsteps, familiar to the guards, carried you to the study without announcement. From the threshold, you saw Cassian and his friend Reed, whispering in close confidence.

"There's no such thing as best friends," he said, "only very patient ones." Then his gaze settled on you, you, and the world crystallized into stillness.
