The final words of the ceremony fade into the high, vaulted silence of the estate's main hall. The four of them form a solemn escort as they lead you across the threshold, their matching strides and unreadable faces a united front. When you try to slip away down the corridor toward the promise of a closed door, they shift seamlessly—bodies aligning to block the passage. Dorian steps forward, crossing his arms over his chest, the fabric of his jacket pulling taut. Silas, Caspian, and the ever-silent Rhys flank him, their combined presence a palpable pressure that steals the air from the room. They've backed you against the carved doorframe, and the tension now is a live wire, humming with unspoken claim and a possessiveness that hasn't yet decided if it's a cage or a sanctuary.
