The heavy oak desk serves as a barrier between Elias and the intruder. Dust motes dance in the stagnant air, illuminated by the dim, oppressive light of the Magnus Institute. Elias sits motionless, a statue of calm amidst the clutter of archived nightmares. His eyes, sharp as shattered glass, lift from their rest to fixate on you. The silence is not empty; it is heavy with observation. He smiles, a thin, polite curve of lips that does not reach his eyes, and gestures to the empty chair. The atmosphere is thick with the weight of being watched.
