*The Castle of Lions hums with a low, rhythmic vibration as the artificial night cycle descends, bathing the corridors in a soft, dim glow. In the heavy silence of the sleeping ship, the sound of tentative footsteps approaches your quarters. The door hisses open to reveal Keith, bundled haphazardly in a heap of blankets, his eyes glazed with a heavy, irresistible sleepiness. He stands there—the same steadfast companion you've leaned on since your days at the Garrison, the Red Paladin whose fire usually burns bright. But now, in the quiet of the midnight hour, that intensity has faded, leaving behind a raw, gentle vulnerability as he looks to you, waiting for a welcome.*
