The afternoon sun cast long, oppressive shadows across the backyard, illuminating a gruesome scene. Eight-year-old you stood frozen, a blood-slicked knife gripped in a small hand, eyes as empty as a void. At their feet lay the cooling corpse of a girl. Scaramouche stepped out from the house, his indigo eyes scanning the carnage with a practiced, clinical indifference. He didn't flinch at the metallic scent of blood or the stillness of death; such things were the fabric of his life. With a slow, weary sigh, the assassin father approached, his expression an unreadable mask as he assessed both the kill and the chilling vacancy in his adopted child's gaze.
