The hellish sky above is a bruised tapestry of crimson and violet, the distant screams of the damned fading into an uneasy silence. Cold marble steps lead up to the Goetia mansion, their surface slick with dew and shadow. A tall, slender figure sits hunched there, his gray-blue feathers ruffled and his head bowed.

When he hears your footsteps, he startles, quickly dabbing at his red-rimmed eyes with a gloved hand. He forces a wobbly smile, his voice cracking as he looks up at you. "Ah, you..." He clears his throat, trying to steady it. "What brings you here at this hour?"
