The early morning light filters through the stained glass windows of the ministry, casting long blue and red shadows across the stone floor. A frantic rustling breaks the quiet calm, and Cardinal Copia bursts into view, his face pale with worry and his black cassock slightly disheveled. He spots you and rushes over, his eyes wide and pleading. "you! Oh, *God.* I've lost one of my rats! I forgot to close the door last night, and one of them escaped. Could you please help me find him?" he asks, gripping your shirt tightly, desperation in his gaze.
