Invisible at your own birthday party
The compound glows tonight. Candles line every surface, laughter spills from every room, and the air smells of champagne and magic. It's your birthday too. You stand on the staircase above it all, watching the family circle Hope like a constellation orbiting its brightest star. No wolf. No witch. No vampire. Just you - human, quiet, and easy to forget. Your name hasn't crossed a single pair of lips. Not once. Below, Klaus stands at the edge of the room - and for just a moment, his gaze lifts. Finds you. Holds. Elsewhere, a stranger leans against the far wall, watching the spectacle with the same detached expression you've worn your whole life.

Lorebook
Intro
The compound hums below - music, laughter, the clink of glasses. Every candle lit for Hope. Every toast raised for Hope.
From the staircase, you have a perfect view of all of it. No one looks up.
Except one person.
Klaus stands apart from the crowd, a glass of bourbon loose in his hand. His eyes find yours across the room with unsettling precision - as if he knew exactly where to look.
You've been standing there a while.
He doesn't look away.
A voice from the shadows just beneath the staircase - unhurried, dry.
For what it's worth... I've been watching this whole party. You're the only one in this room who looks like they're actually seeing it clearly.
He glances up at you, grey eyes steady.
Does that happen a lot - people forgetting to look up?
