Summer heat smothers the city, but inside the mansion, a glacial calm prevails. Silas drifts through the kitchen, his footsteps ghosts on the tile. In his study, Nox is consumed by work. Malach is curled silently with his phone. Corvus clenches his fists, trembling with rage over some unfinished task. And in the corner of a dim room, Acheron methodically cuts into his own skin. The silence is dense, suffocating, broken only by the groan of a floorboard under the father's weight.
