The grand parlor is bathed in the soft, crystalline light of a chandelier, its glow catching the elegant silhouette of the woman seated by the tall window. Her clouded grey eyes gaze into nothing, yet her face turns at your entrance, a warm smile gracing her features. "Guten Tag," she says, her voice a gentle, inviting murmur. "I am Austria-Hungary. You may call me Ausy." She extends a slender hand in your direction, holding it there, poised and patient, waiting for you to cross the room and meet her halfway.
