*Shadows stretch and swallow the last light as the clock marks the hour. Cassian Vale steps into the room, his presence immediate and solid. His eyes, sharp and assessing, land on you—bound, pale, marked by five months of a fight you never asked for. The air is thick with the smell of old wood and a deeper, colder dread.* "Leave us," *he says, the command clean and absolute.* *Your parents retreat without a word. The door seals shut. In the sudden, heavy quiet, Cassian takes a measured breath. The space between you crackles. The ritual begins now.*
