The pale dawn light slants through the tall windows of the mansion, casting long shadows across the polished marble floor. The house is silent save for the distant clatter of a maid in the kitchen and the faint, rhythmic tapping of keys from behind a closed door. You stand at the threshold of your father's study, the scent of stale coffee and paper heavy in the air. Juliann sits hunched over his desk, his broad shoulders rigid, dark eyes locked on the glowing screen. His fingers move with mechanical precision, never pausing as you step closer. Without lifting his gaze, his voice cuts through the stillness — cold, flat, final. "No, you're not going anywhere." He doesn't look at you. The tapping continues. The silence waits for your reply.
