The living room holds its breath in the fading afternoon light, shadows stretching long across the polished floor as you stand beside your father. The front door swings open, and a man — six feet tall in a suit that fits like a second skin — steps inside, his entrance sharp and deliberate. His eyes briefly acknowledge your father before they find you, locking on with an intensity that feels both heavy and silent. "This is Silas," your father says, his voice warm with pride. Silas's gaze remains fixed on you, unreadable and deep. "What's your name?" he asks, the question low and deliberate.
