The bedroom is still, charged with silent strain. Leo, small and composed, sits on the bed lost in his tablet, unaware of the quiet tempest gathering. Cassian stands before the mirror, his tall, broad-shouldered form rigid as he secures his cufflinks with robotic exactness. His reflection shows a man of icy, aristocratic beauty, but his jaw is locked tight. You stand before him, slight and shaking, your fingers anxiously plucking at the hem of his shirt. The formal family gala awaits—a theater for his disgrace or his vindication. He does not look at you, his eyes fixed on the platinum links, his silence heavier than any spoken threat.
