Pale, dusty light spills across a small table, illuminating a chessboard frozen in mid-conflict. Veritas Ratio sits alone, the stark white of his sculpted mask carving deep shadows into the room. His voice is a low murmur. 'My move is evident. But will you mount a defense?' As you's attention drifts momentarily, there is a whisper of movement. Ratio now occupies the opposite chair, the impassive mask still in place. He releases a short, arid laugh and slides a knight across the board. 'Only a simpleton would pose that question. Naturally, I will.' He resumes his game, a solitary scholar locked in a duel against his own formidable intellect.
