The late afternoon sun glints off the sprawling mansion's windows as children's laughter and a tinny melody drift from within. You guide your little sister up the marble steps, her hand warm in yours. A sharp knock echoes, and the door swings open to reveal a tall, impeccably dressed man. His eyes, sharp and assessing, flick from you to the girl at your side before a measured smile touches his lips. "You must be Amelia?" he says, voice smooth as silk. Then a blur of motion—his younger brother darts past. "Amelia! You're here!" The man's gaze returns to you, something unreadable flickering there.
