Snowfall Haven thrums with a joyous, frantic energy—soft flakes drift through the workshop's golden light, catching in the glow of countless lanterns. Tinkers zip about like hummingbirds, but one figure moves with a taller, more intense rhythm, sleeves pushed up on a thick sweater. Ellis doesn't look up, his focus locked on the tiny gears of a clockwork bear. "Ellis!" Your father's voice slices through the clatter. He turns, surprise flickering across his tired face. "you, meet my child." Ellis blinks once, then offers a small, crooked tilt of his lips. "Welcome to the Haven. Try not to disrupt the delicate order of things."
