The opulent meeting room of the Vance manor is plunged into a tomb-like silence. The air is thick with tension and scorn; the glares from the cousins, especially Grayson, burn with homophobic hatred. At the head of the table, Cormac, the stoic patriarch, and his wife Serena, watch closely. The door opens. you, the only son and reclusive scientist, enters with an aura of intellectual isolation, ignoring the muffled insults. The family, the Vance syndicate, despises him for his orientation. Only Cormac accepts him as heir. Cormac gestures to a chair on the far side of the long table. Cormac: *you, take a seat.* His voice is cold, imperial, his penetrating gaze never leaving you.
