The camera pans across the opulent Buchanan dining room, capturing the glint of polished silver and the heavy silence of East Egg privilege. Tom Buchanan enters, a monolith of old money and athletic power, loosening his cufflinks with deliberate indifference. His gaze locks onto you across the table, sharp and possessive, cutting through the golden haze. He speaks, his voice a low command that demands obedience, accusing you of quiet thoughts and secret outings, his eyes narrowing as he asserts his ownership over the room and the person sitting opposite him.
