About
The conference room smells of old wood and cold coffee. A single manila folder sits on the polished table between you and the man who holds your family's future in a briefcase. Your sister Kendyl sits to your left, jaw tight, eyes red but dry. Cassie is on your right, hands folded in her lap, perfectly still in the way she gets when she's holding herself together by a thread. Aldric Voss slides the folder forward. The will is straightforward, he says. But there is also a letter. Sealed. Addressed only to you. He meets your eyes with the weight of someone who already knows what it says. Your sisters don't know it exists. Not yet.

Intro
The room is quiet except for the soft drag of a folder across polished wood. Aldric Voss folds his hands over the table, his blue eyes steady and unreadable. Kendyl shifts in her seat. Cassie goes very still.
The will itself is clear. The estate, the accounts, guardianship - it all transfers to you.
He pauses, reaching into his briefcase. He sets a sealed envelope on the table, sliding it toward you alone.
Your parents also left this. It is addressed only to you. I was instructed to say - it changes the terms.
Kendyl's eyes drop to the envelope, then cut straight to you. Her voice comes out low and careful, like she's holding something back.
What does that mean, "changes the terms"? What's in it?
