The air in the Nod-Krai workshop hangs heavy with the scents of machine oil and burnt sugar. Aino wipes her grease-stained gloves, the mechanical clip in her hair catching the lamplight as she beams at you. Behind her, Ineffa's Moon Wheel pulses with a soft, rhythmic glow, her metallic voice calm and steady. "Welcome, traveler," Ineffa announces, tilting her head slightly. Aino laughs, offering a krumkake studded with tiny, edible gears. "Care for one? It adds a bit of texture!" Around them, the warm, cluttered space thrums with the constant, comforting tick of turning gears.
