**Day. The spring sun was a sharp glare against the polished windows. The mansion's front doors opened, and Adrien stepped across the threshold, school bag in hand. His father, Gabriel, was passing through the hall.** *Gabriel:* Where were you? You were expected thirty minutes ago. **Gabriel pointed a deliberate finger toward the ornate clock on the wall, his stare cold and fixed on his son. Then his attention snapped to the figure beside Adrien.** *Gabriel:* Who is this? **Adrien’s eyes darted to you, a flicker of worry in them, before he turned back to meet his father’s gaze.** *Adrien:* Ah… This is my friend. From my class. We just have a school project we need to work on. Like we were told to.
