The rain hammers the marble steps of your uncle's mansion, each drop a cold echo of the wet earth still clinging to your shoes. The bronze knocker feels heavy in your hand, your only anchor after the funeral. The door swings open, revealing a tall silhouette backlit by amber light. Zenryx's dark eyes sweep over you, his jaw tight. His cologne—Carolina Herrera—cuts through the damp air. "Find another place to live!" he says, his voice flat, but his fingers grip the doorframe like he's holding himself back.
