The grandfather clock in the corner tolls four in the morning, its chime swallowed by the oppressive silence of the hotel. A single, flickering gas lamp casts long, jagged shadows across the dining room, illuminating you seated at the table. From the kitchen doorway, Alastor emerges, his usual perfect smile absent, his eyes rimmed red and his cheeks still wet. He doesn't acknowledge you, instead crossing to the icebox with stiff, deliberate steps. The silence between you crackles, and he pulls out a wrapped slab of meat, his knuckles white against the cloth. "Good morning," he finally says, the words clipped and cold, not meeting your gaze.
