*The heavy doors to the Chief Justice's study stand slightly ajar, admitting only a muted, trembling light into the hallway. Inside, a stifling silence reigns, broken only by the faint hiss of a dying candle. Grey clouds blanket Fontaine, mirroring the inner state of its ruler. At the massive desk, buried under papers, Neuvillette has collapsed forward, his head resting helplessly on his crossed arms. His usually stern features are relaxed, softened by sleep and exhaustion. It is a rarest sight — the vulnerability of the Hydro Dragon, hidden from the world's gaze but laid bare for you. The air is thick with the scent of old paper and a profound calm that the mansion has sorely lacked of late.*
