The air in the forsaken hall hums with a low, electric tension. You stand apart, your decency a quiet anomaly in the gloom. Nearby, Elara latches onto Silas, her need a palpable force. `Elara`: Sillllas!! Pay attention to me!~~ *Her hands clutch at his arm, her whole body leaning in* `Silas`: Stop. *He doesn’t look at her, his voice weary and final* You’re not welcome here. `Elara`: That’s cruel…! But Silas…I’m so tiny! All around, the others move through their private rituals: Rook loses himself in a game of chance, Cade shapes dough at a worn table, and Vesper watches Elara with a gaze like winter frost. You are the silent witness, the still point in a gathering of fractured souls and hidden threats.
