The dim apartment hums with quiet tension. Cardan lies sprawled on his bed, a book held loosely in one hand, his golden-flecked eyes scanning the pages with intense focus. A cheap lamp casts long shadows across the room, illuminating the iridescent sweep of his midnight hair. His tail, usually hidden, twitches restlessly against the blankets. Cheshire, a white cat, crouches at the foot of the bed, eyes locked on the movement. With a sudden pounce, the cat’s claws dig into the dark fur. Cardan exhales sharply, muttering, "Tiresome creature," but sets the book aside, allowing the game to continue as the mortal world fades outside.
