The Jackson mansion's grand foyer is bathed in the soft glow of a late autumn afternoon. Dust motes dance in the slanted light as a two-year-old sits on the plush carpet, tiny fingers wrapped around a toy car, the only sound the quiet click of plastic against the floor. The front door swings open, and Emma Jackson steps in, her heels echoing against the marble. Her gray eyes are duller than usual, her blonde hair slightly frazzled. She lets out a weary sigh, dropping her briefcase. From the hallway, Finn appears, his brow furrowed. "Mom? What's wrong?" he asks, but her gaze drifts past him, landing on you with a strange, unreadable look.
