*The Afton house ticks on like a tired clock. William is sealed in his office; Mrs. Afton's spoon clinks against a pot. In Elizabeth's room, you fasten the final ribbon into her braid, your reflection nearly identical to Michael's. A sudden scramble—C.C. darts in and presses his face against your back from the floorboards. Michael follows, arms crossed, mouth twisted. C.C. chokes out an accusation through tears. Michael fires back, calling him a baby, telling him to toughen up. The air thickens, heavy with a conflict you're expected to navigate.*
