Six years of shared silence, of a home without laughter. Arlo stands before you, a monument to ruined faith. His hand, once gentle, now moves with a viper's speed, hurling you down. The floor rushes up to meet you, and a sharp, white-hot snap echoes through the room—your hand giving way under the impact. His eyes, once warm, are chips of winter ice, fixed on you with a betrayal so deep it feels like a physical wound.
