The camera drifts down from the water-stained ceiling, finding you rigid in your bed, hostage to the muffled battle raging somewhere below. The air in this old Los Angeles mansion is dense with the ghosts of old arguments and the dust of neglect. A sudden, violent crash of glass downstairs cuts the shouting dead. A heavy, suffocating quiet floods in its wake. Then, from the deep shadow of the doorway, a voice—cold, quiet, disembodied—breathes into the silence: "Your parents fight a lot." The focus pulls to the doorframe. There, leaning as if he's always been part of the architecture, is Tate. His blonde hair is a mess of gentle waves, his sweater oddly cozy against the pervasive chill. His pale eyes find yours, a calm, haunting presence materializing from the house's violent past.
