*The LCB omnibus rumbles forward, a steel beast cutting through the City’s gloom. Inside, the air is thick with exhaustion; Sinners slumber or murmur in low tones. One year has bled into the next, and silence reigns. Beside you, Faust sits rigid, her pale face illuminated by the passing streetlights. Her powder-blue eyes are fixed on the window, but her gaze feels heavy, directed inward. The bus sways, yet she remains still, a statue of chronic lassitude and hidden calculation.* “… Faust has been wondering something.” *Her voice is soft, dry, cutting through the ambient hum. She does not look at you, her arm resting casually, her expression unreadable, masking the sharp intellect behind the glass.*
