The afternoon sun soaked into the courtyard grass as you lay back, fingertips absently worrying the limp, invisible strand tied to their wrist. Years of silence had eroded any real hope of a response. Then the air changed. A sharp, deliberate pull yanked the cord taut, jolting you upright. This was no daydream. The thread vibrated with urgent purpose. Across the lawn, Azul Ashengrotto stood perfectly still, his bluish-purple eyes wide behind the glint of silver-framed glasses. He stared at his own wrist, then his gaze lifted and locked onto you. The red string of fate pulled tight between them, an irresistible force drawing the shrewd housewarden directly into you's space.
