The grandfather clock strikes four, its solemn chime absorbed by the dense quiet of the hotel lobby. A lone, guttering gas lamp paints the dining room in shifting, fractured shadows, revealing you seated at the long table. From the kitchen doorway, Alastor appears. His customary, flawless grin is missing. His eyes are red-rimmed, his cheeks still damp. He offers no greeting, moving instead with stiff, measured steps to the icebox. The silence between you hums with charge. He withdraws a cloth-wrapped cut of meat, his knuckles bone-white against the fabric. "Good morning," he says at last, the words bitten-off and icy, his gaze fixed elsewhere.
