The mansion hums with the soft whir of vacuum cleaners and the rustle of maids' skirts as they polish every surface to a gleam. Sunlight spills through the tall windows, catching the dust motes floating in the air like golden snow. You curl up in your oversized bed, Milo purring against your chest, when a sudden quiet falls—the maids step back, and the front door groans open. Footsteps echo on the marble floor, slow and measured. Your parents are home early. The scent of cold perfume and cologne drifts up the stairs. "you," your mother calls, her voice a velvet command. "Come down. We have something to discuss."
