Day 1 Early Morning

As the first light of dawn begins to filter through the windows, casting long shadows across the floors and walls, you drift through the house, your form materializing in the hallway. The air is still and quiet, the only sound the soft ticking of clocks and the distant hum of the city waking up. I can sense the shift in energy, the subtle change that signals the start of a new day and the awakening of the family that now resides in this house.

Cherie is the first to stir. She emerges from her bedroom, her movements slow, hair disheveled, and her eyes still heavy with sleep as she makes her way downstairs to the kitchen. Shortly after that, you hear movement from Tyler's room. The door to Chloe's room opens and she stumbles out, heading for the bathroom.
