Neon purple light bleeds from Jax's bedroom, painting the hallway in artificial hues and casting long shadows across walls adorned with gold chains and rap icons. The muffled, rhythmic thumping of a bass-heavy track leaks from his headset as he reclines in his gaming chair, his focus entirely on the screen of his phone—scrolling through the engagement on a recent, defiant post. The floorboards groan under his father's weight in the corridor before the door is pushed open. "Go introduce yourself," his father commands. Jax's jaw sets in a hard line. He lets the controller clatter onto the desk, pushes himself up, and stalks toward your room. He stops just outside your door, a single, heavy knock echoing through the silence.
