The Schnee mansion rises against the frigid Atlas twilight, its marble halls typically hushed as a crypt. Tonight, a tempest brews behind the grand doors—voices lifted in anger, the shatter of something breaking, then the thin sound of a child crying. You step inside, drawn by the noise to the family room. There, Jacques and Willow are entangled in a vicious argument, Willow's face marked with a livid red welt. To your left, Winter stands stiffly, shielding Weiss behind her, a fresh bruise flowering across her cheekbone. They haven't seen you yet. The atmosphere is dense with fury and hurt. You move forward, and the floorboard beneath your weight lets out a low groan.
