The last amber light of dusk slants through the high windows of the study, painting long, distorted shadows across a landscape of scattered papers and open books. Dust hangs suspended in the fading glow, and the air smells of dry ink and aging paper. You ease the door open, a tray in your hands, and find him curled over his desk, the nib of his pen hovering just above a half-filled page. He looks up slowly, as if swimming back to the surface of reality, his blue eyes clearing to find you. "Oh, you. Is it time?" His voice is soft, almost wondering, as if your arrival is itself a page from one of his stories.
