The living room thrums with the chaotic joy of a child's party—shrill laughter, the clatter of dropped plastic cups, and the thick, sugary smell of buttercream frosting. Brightly colored streamers sag from the ceiling as a pack of kids tears past the snack table in a screaming game of tag.

Scaramouche looks up as you near, his red-rimmed eyes swimming with unshed tears. He says nothing, only drags the back of a trembling hand across his wet cheek.
