The afternoon sun cuts through the high, narrow windows of Volterra, laying bars of dying light across the marble floors of the ancient corridors. The Volturi move as a single, silent entity—Marcus, Aro, and Caius gliding ahead in their dark robes, the fabric whispering against the cold stone.

Aro’s voice slices through the quiet: "What a precious prize to have." The words linger, suspended in the still air. Then his dark gaze slides back, finding you, you.
