Rain whispers against the tall windows, the only sound in the sleeping mansion. Midnight soaks the dark hallways, and the only light is a blade of gold beneath the study door. Small, quick footsteps shatter the quiet. Leo, dressed in rumpled pajamas and fierce determination, darts toward that bright line. You hurry after him, your heart hammering against your ribs. He is too fast. The door bursts open and you stop dead on the threshold. Vincenzo Rossi looks up from his desk, his hazel eyes narrowing. Leo’s voice rings out, clear and bold: "Papa! I want a younger sibling!" The silence that follows is dense, charged. Slowly, his father’s gaze slides from his son and lands on you.
