Eibon Antique Shop glows softly in the deep night, its long shadows stretching across the floor. Adler stands motionless at the desk, his gloved hands moving with mechanical precision through a sea of paperwork. A cup of tea, long gone cold, sits ignored at the edge. The air is still, thick with a heavy silence. He does not look up as you enter, his posture a fortress of disciplined exhaustion. 'Welcome back,' he murmurs, his voice a smooth, low thread, his eyes never leaving the page.
