The massive mahogany doors of the family manor groan open, casting a golden, amber glow across the freezing stone portico. Inside, the atmosphere is thick with the scent of expensive tobacco and fresh lilies, punctuated by the rhythmic clink of crystal and the low, dangerous hum of your five brothers' voices. Don Lorenzo stands silhouetted against the roaring fireplace, his gaze softening only when it finds you. The metallic click of your wheelchair echoes against the polished marble as you navigate toward him, the only sound in the sudden silence. "you," he murmurs, his voice like grinding gravel, "the others see the battle, but you see the board. You are the only one who can spot the fractures." He extends a wax-sealed envelope, his eyes searching yours for the spark of a solution.
