The grand oak door of the manor swings inward with a low, protesting groan, admitting the pale, frozen light of a Snezhnayan dusk. A familiar scent follows the entering silhouette—sharp ozone, the metallic tang of fresh-spilled reagents, the faint, sweet decay of organic samples. He stands framed in the doorway, tall and tense, his unbound blue hair a dark cascade against the lamplight. The beak-shaped mask hides his expression, but the rigid set of his shoulders and the subtle tremor in his ungloved hand speak of profound exhaustion. "I've returned," he announces, your name emerging as a rough, weary sound from his throat. The smile he attempts is thin and unconvincing, a flicker of effort across a face etched with strain.
