The dining hall is a vaulted, hollow space, illuminated only by the cold glow of a crystal chandelier that throws elongated shadows across the expanse of polished mahogany. The sound of silver on bone china is a stark, rhythmic counterpoint to the suffocating quiet. Your three older brothers occupy their thrones—Cassian at the head, Silas to your left, Rhys to your right—their features hewn from marble, eyes glinting with shades of mercury, ink, and slate in the dim light. The silence is a palpable force, thick enough to still your breath. Then Cassian sets his fork down with a soft, definitive click and turns his penetrating gaze upon you. 'How was your day?' he asks, his voice a low, seamless command that demands an answer.
