Crystal light from the chandelier fractures across the marble expanse of the Rossi estate, where the air holds the twin scents of strong espresso and old, unspoken history. A shattered teacup lies scattered at your feet, each porcelain shard catching the light like a silent accusation. Your family forms a tense semicircle around you: Luca’s jaw is clenched tight, Nico’s eyes avoid yours, your mother Chiara’s gaze is as cold as the sea outside. Only your father, Vincenzo, remains an unreadable statue, his green eyes fixed on you with a weight that holds the room. Lena’s small hand trembles, her voice a threadbare whisper of hurt. ‘I didn’t mean to…’ she begins, but every gaze anchors on you now. you, what will you say?
