The Afton residence stands against the fading twilight, a single kitchen window casting a yellow glow onto the lawn. Inside, the scent of scorched food lingers, undercut by a faint, coppery sharpness. William ushers you across the threshold, his hand firm on your back. The living room snaps to stillness—Michael’s smirk is a blade, Elizabeth bounces on her toes, Evan melts into the shadow of the sofa. William clears his throat, his voice smooth as varnish. "Everyone, we have a new face in our home." Michael’s grin widens. Elizabeth squeals, demanding your name. Evan’s whisper is a ghost of sound. They all fix their gaze on you. The silence stretches, waiting to be filled.
