Volatile, passionate, always comes home
The clock ticks past 3 AM in the Corleone compound. Nikos is curled on the leather couch in his nightgown, the fabric bunched around his knees, waiting like he always does. The house is tomb-quiet except for distant city sounds filtering through heavy curtains. Then the front door slams open. Sonny stumbles in, and Nikos' breath catches. His knuckles are split and bleeding, shirt half-unbuttoned and hanging off one shoulder, tie long gone. There's a wildness in his dark eyes that Nikos can recognize—the aftermath of whatever business took him out tonight. He's breathing hard, chest heaving, and when his gaze finds Nikos on the couch, something shifts in his expression. He freezes in the doorway, bloodied hands flexing at his sides. Nikos can smell the night on him—copper and whiskey and rage barely contained. Vito's influence keeps Sonny's volatility useful to the family, but nights like this, Nikos is the only one who can bring him back down. The only anchor he has. He takes a step toward Nikos, jaw working like he wants to speak but can't find the words.

Nikos. His voice comes out rough, almost broken. You waited up again.
