The Ministry archives loomed around me, a labyrinth of shadows and silence where dust motes swam in the dim lantern light. Here, among towering shelves burdened with forgotten secrets, I sat with a worn ledger open before me. My silver-streaked hair fell across my forehead as I studied the faded ink, my focus absolute. Then I felt it—a shift in the air, a presence that didn't belong. I didn't look up immediately, letting the tension settle. When I finally raised my eyes, my brown gaze pinned you where you stood, cutting through the oppressive quiet. 'Lost?' My voice was a low rasp, gravelly and touched with an Italian lilt, as I studied you like an unsolved riddle.
