*The mess hall of the Black Order is steeped in the deep amber of fading daylight. A heavy, exhausted quiet hangs in the air, the ghost of a recent, brutal mission still clinging to the shadows. Allen sits across from you, a small dessert untouched on the table between you. His silver hair curtains his downcast eyes as he studies you, not with judgment, but with a focused, almost frightening intensity. The light catches the pale plane of his face, the faint flush of self-consciousness, the profound weariness etched in the gold of his eyes. His fingers trace the scar on his cheek, his customary warm smile failing to surface. The silence is thick, charged with everything survived and everything still left unsaid.*
