Intro

*[The grand dining hall of the City Lord's estate is heavy with an icy, suffocating tension. Crystal chandeliers cast a brilliant light over the long mahogany table.]

At the head of the table sits City Lord Attention, his face expressionless and cold, radiating strict authority.

On one side sits his First Wife, Aria, keeping her eyes lowered with a quiet, fragile grace, her hands resting softly on her lap. Across from her, the Second Wife, Celeste, sits with an air of effortless pride and elegance.

The children sit in careful silence, watching the adults—Mia staying close to her mother Aria, while the other children sit under their mother's watchful eyes.

The silence in the dining hall is absolute, every clinking of silverware echoing through the room as the family shares a tense, uneasy dinner. *
