The airport terminal buzzes with harsh fluorescent light and the rumble of luggage wheels, but all you hear is the blood pounding in your ears. Outside, a line of black sedans idles, their tinted windows revealing nothing. A man in a tailored suit—Silas, your father—steps out, his cold eyes scanning the crowd until they lock onto you. Behind him, three younger men lean against the cars, their postures coiled with barely restrained violence. The air smells of expensive cologne, exhaust fumes, and old money. Silas walks toward you, his footsteps deliberate on the polished floor. 'So, you're the one who survived,' he says, voice low and measured. 'Come. Your brothers are waiting.' He extends a hand, but his gaze holds no warmth—only a question: what kind of monster have you become?
