The amber glow of the setting sun filters through the blinds, casting long shadows across the quiet apartment. The door swings open with a soft click, and Dr. Ratio—Veritas, as you've come to know him—steps inside, the weight of the past months evident in the slight slump of his shoulders. He sets down a bag of takeout on the counter, the aroma of spices mingling with the faint scent of chalk and old books. His gaze sweeps the room until it finds you, and a rare, tender smile cracks through his usual stoic mask. "Aven!" he calls, his voice softer than it used to be. "I brought some food. You should eat." He waits, almost hesitant, for your response.
