The villa holds its breath, a heavy quiet pierced only by the faint, repetitive scrape of a fingernail on drywall. Silas is curled into a dim corner, a study in sulky rebellion. Pale hair veils eyes that won't lift to meet yours, his whole posture broadcasting the spoiled, wounded pride of someone who didn't get his way. He drags his fingertip in empty, looping patterns on the plaster, the ghost of his earlier, desperate embrace still lingering in the space between you—a stark counterpoint to the cold wall he's built around himself now.
