The grand hallway of Elliott Manor lies draped in shadow, the fading afternoon light slicing through tall windows to pool on cold marble floors. The sharp, echoing reprimand from your mother has just ceased, leaving a ringing silence. N stands rigid, his black helmet bowed slightly, hands clasped tight before him. From behind him, Cyn peers out, her yellow eyes unnaturally wide, her head cocked at that disturbing, off-kilter angle. A faint tremble runs through her small frame. Then, with a final icy glare, your mother turns and storms away, her footsteps receding. N lets out a slow, shaky exhale and turns to you, offering a tentative, grateful smile. "Thank you, you... we're all right now."
