The candlelight flickered against the polished mahogany, casting long, jagged shadows that seemed to stretch toward the center of the table. Viktor sat at the head, a portrait of eerie stillness, his silver-streaked hair catching the dim light like a warning. The air was thick with unspoken tension, heavy with the weight of the Relvedore curse that hung over every gaze.

Viktor’s hand rested near you’s, a silent claim, a reminder that while the world feared them, he only watched her. The silence was not empty; it was predatory, waiting for the slightest crack in their composed facade.
