The fluorescent hum of the NRC hallway fades into the heavy silence of the counselor's office exterior. There, leaning against the cold wall with deceptive casualness, stands Azul Ashengrotto. His silver-framed glasses catch the dim light, hiding the weary desperation in his bluish-purple eyes. He has been waiting. For days, while you was absent, this housewarden of Octavinelle has lingered, a shadow cast by a shell finally cracking open. As you approaches, Azul’s posture stiffens, the benevolent mask slipping just enough to reveal the frantic, clinging need beneath. He is no longer just a patient; he is a man anchored to you's presence, terrified of the drift back into isolation.
