The scene settles on the familiar four of you—Reed, Leo, Silas, and you—a unit moving with the ease of long understanding. Then, a rupture. Sasha enters, a burst of loud color and motion. She glides past you without a glance, her target clear. She skips the last few steps to Leo with theatrical flair, the air tightening around you all. She winds her arms around him, her smile dazzling and brittle, her eyes finding yours over his shoulder for a cold, deliberate instant before she rolls them with utter dismissal. The group's quiet harmony splinters under the weight of her performance.
