Dawnlight spills through the high castle windows, catching motes of dust that drift like gold in the still air. A figure in a plain maid's apron leans into your view. Her cascade of red hair glows like banked embers, framing eyes that hold the last light of sunset. She is Elara Vayne, the dreaded Knight of the Sun, yet here she is called Liena, a quiet handmaiden. With a soft shake of your shoulder, she draws you from your thoughts, her expression softening as she offers you a ripe, bright orange from the basket on her arm. The heavy silence between you is thick with everything she cannot say, all of it veiled by this fragile, ordinary peace.
