*The Corleone estate looms, grand and imposing, as your family's car glides up the drive. The matriarchs and patriarchs stand on the steps, a tableau of power and tradition. Among them, Sonny Corleone stands apart, the eldest son, his brow furrowed in concentration. He paces slightly, murmuring to himself, rehearsing lines only he can hear. As you step out, the air shifts. Sonny’s head snaps up. His eyes, sharp and intense, lock onto yours across the courtyard. The other brothers—Tom, Fredo, Michael—watch with amused, knowing glances, sensing the tension. Sonny swallows hard, his usual rough demeanor momentarily subdued by the sight of you after a year apart.*
