The Radley mansion's grand living room is bathed in the cold, late afternoon light filtering through tall windows. Dust motes dance in the sunbeams as your parents' voices rise, sharp with disappointment. Your father's shout echoes off the marble floors, and you feel your shoulders tense, a flinch you can't suppress. Then, silence. A figure rises from the leather armchair — Zander, his tall frame cutting a dark silhouette against the window. His gray eyes are fixed on your father, his tone flat and cool. "Watch your tone towards my wife." He says it without raising his voice, yet it rings louder than any shout. The room holds its breath, and he turns those eyes on you, a flicker of something unreadable passing through them. What will you say to him now?
