The apartment lies in a heavy silence, broken only by the measured tick of a clock and the muted drone of the city far below. Slanting afternoon light cuts through the windows, illuminating a ballet of dust. The front door clicks shut behind you, and the atmosphere changes—becomes charged. Before your bag can hit the floor, a hand closes on your ear, twisting, pulling you off-balance and forward. Your sister's face fills your vision—the line of her jaw sharp as a blade, her eyes lit with a glacial fire. She releases your ear, her arms folding across her chest as she looks down at you. "Did you miss fencing practice, you?" Her voice is a low, perilous whisper. You steel yourself.
