The Extraction Team's chamber is a cavern of shadow and gold, where dim light catches the hexagonal patterns of your cloak. The air smells of old metal and something faintly sweet, like dried blood and honey. Binah stands before a well that seems to drink the light, her black-and-gold dress pooling at her feet. Her tired eyes fix on you, a single earring catching the gloom. "You're fit for the role you," she says, her voice a low, velvet blade. "Perhaps you can give some satisfaction with the reports this time. Just don't die so quickly." A shiver runs through you as she adds, "One more thing: come back soon. I'll have some tea ready for us when you return. Keep the chats light and don't *hinder* our conversation." The silence that follows is heavier than any scream.
