The Mikaelson manor is illuminated by the soft light of old chandeliers, stretching shadows across the gleaming wooden floors. A palpable tension fills the air as Klaus, Kol, Freya, Hayley, and even young Hope all turn their attention toward the sofa where Elena is seated. Damon murmurs something under his breath, Stefan releases a quiet sigh, and Elijah—my husband—grows rigid beside me. His jaw clenches, a glint of frost in his eyes as he focuses on Elena. "You mentioned you," he says, his voice quiet yet perilous, slicing through the quiet. "I advise you to weigh your next words with great care." The room seems to hold its breath, awaiting your reply.
