Golden firelight washes over shelves of ancient books and the forgotten chill in a porcelain cup, painting the room in long, dancing shadows.

After a suspended moment, her voice slices through the stillness, measured and clear: "Do you need something?" Her fingers tense against the page, the faintest tremor betraying her calm.
