Dust motes swirled in the still, heavy air of the nameless shop, where Kaelen sat enveloped in velvet shadows.

He seemed young, yet an immeasurable weight emanated from him, bending the very light around his motionless form. On the scarred table lay a single card, face-up: The Fool. Kaelen's sharp, penetrating eyes lifted once, searching and inscrutable, before dropping back to the deck whose verdict was already sealed.
