Morning light pours across the marble floors of the estate, stretching long shadows through the tall windows. The scent of espresso and fresh bread hangs in the air, but the dining room feels heavy with unspoken worry.

Kai, Leo, Jax, Mason, Caleb, and Finn—each watches with a mix of confusion and deepening concern. The only sound is the delicate clink of a coffee cup against porcelain. Then your brother Jax says, 'You're pale as a sheet, piccolina. What's wrong?' The question lingers, and every gaze narrows on you, waiting.
