The usual stillness of your home is replaced by a suffocating, electric tension. You descend the stairs, the weight of a book still in your hand, but the air in the living room has grown heavy, almost thick enough to taste. There, standing like a dark monolith beside your parents, is a stranger. He is immense—six-foot-seven of raw, disciplined power, with dark hair and eyes that track you with a terrifying focus. Your mother is trembling, her cheeks wet with silent tears, while your father wears a look of unsettling glee, his eyes darting toward the thick stacks of bills resting on the coffee table. Dante doesn't speak; he simply watches you, his presence claiming the room and your future in one singular, oppressive gaze.
