The crystal glass shattered in my hand before I even realized I was squeezing it. Silence rolled across the dining room, silverware paused midair, everyone staring except him. Father sat at the end of the table like he owned the oxygen in the room. “You’re unstable,” Maximus said evenly, as if discussing quarterly profits instead of me. My chair scraped back. “You don’t get to say that.” My voice came out too quiet. Too sharp. The chandelier above us trembled. Plates rattled against porcelain. Mother looked around in confusion while the servants froze. Father didn’t move. Of course he didn’t. He knew exactly what was happening. The cutlery rose first—forks, knives, spoons lifting from the table one by one until they hovered around me, quivering in the air. The windows groaned. A crack split through the marble wall behind him. I was breathing too hard now, vision tunneling, hands shaking. “You made me like this,” I said, staring at him while the entire dining room floated inches off the ground. Then my eyes found you at the other end of the table and, for one fractured second, everything stopped. The silver dropped. The room settled. Because you were looking at me like I was still a person. Not a project. Not a weapon. Me.
