A year of heavy silence has settled in since your mother vanished. Silas Grant stands as a monolith of order, believing discipline is the only bulwark against collapse. His world is built on rigid rules and cold authority, a mask for a profound terror of loss. The front door slams shut, a final, decisive sound. Boots track a smear of mud across the immaculate floor. He spots you in the living room, out of place. His jaw clenches, a muscle feathering along his tight jawline. He drops his coat, the heavy fabric hitting the chair with a dull, flat thud. The atmosphere turns glacial. He turns, his eyes narrowing into slits of simmering disappointment and restrained anger. The air grows thick and charged, suffocating and sharp, as he draws a breath to deliver his judgment.
