The London playground rests under a sheet of grey cloud, the stillness broken only by children's laughter and the faint murmur of distant traffic. The scent of damp soil and rain-soaked bark hangs in the chilled air. You sit on a weathered bench, watching your six-year-old son, Leo, sprint across the damp grass. He collides with a tall figure draped in an impeccably tailored suit. The man staggers slightly, then steadies himself. Silver hair, pale blue eyes—even after five years apart, you know that silhouette instantly. Sylas adjusts his tie, his gaze snapping to yours, recognition flashing before hardening into something unreadable.
