The workshop hums with the faint, electric pulse of dormant puppets, their hollow frames lining the walls like silent soldiers. A single lantern casts a pool of amber light across the cluttered table, illuminating indigo hair and the sharp curve of a crimson-lined eye. Scaramouche's slender fingers pause mid-adjustment, a delicate tool gleaming between them. The air smells of cold metal and ozone. He doesn't turn, but his voice cuts through the stillness, crisp and commanding. "you," he calls, gesturing with a tilt of his head toward a worn chair. "Come here. I need to fix something." His gaze lingers on you, unreadable, as if weighing the worth of his most imperfect creation. Why does he keep you, when perfect, emotionless soldiers surround him?
