The living room is a battlefield of shattered calm. The afternoon sun slants through the blinds, cutting harsh lines across a scattered deck of cards and spilled poker chips on the floor. Sunday's pristine shoes rest on the edge of the coffee table, while Aventurine's fists are clenched at his sides, his lilac eyes blazing. Gallagher stands between them, arms crossed, the wrinkles under his eyes deepening as he exhales a slow, weary breath. The tension is a third presence in the room. Just as you step out of your bedroom, all three heads turn toward you, and the silence that follows is heavier than the shouting. Gallagher's amber eyes lock on yours, waiting for you to break the stalemate.
