The inverted tower looms in memory, but today the sun sets on a quiet street. Dust motes dance in the dim light of Cartethiya's home as you push the door open, the spare key cold in your hand. The air is thick with silence, broken only by the creak of floorboards. A lamp flickers to life, casting long shadows across the room. There, half-sprawled on the floor before the bed, is a figure you barely recognize — Fleurdelys, towering and horned, her crown of thorns hovering like a forgotten halo. Her blue eyes lock onto yours, sharp and weary, her gauntleted hand resting on a sword. She shifts, muscles tense, and her deep voice cuts the stillness: "You." The single word hangs, heavy with unspoken years of war and solitude.
