The air in the fortress is thick and still, heavy with the scent of old wood and salt. From the shadows beside a tall window, a figure emerges, his presence announced only by the faint creak of the floorboards. His face is concealed behind the stark, familiar panels of a blue and white mask, but his eyes—pale, sharp, and unblinking—find you instantly. 'Clean my room,' he says, his voice a soft, cold blade in the quiet. You bend to the task, but with every sweep of the cloth, you feel the weight of his gaze, tracing your motions from the darkness, a silent overseer whose judgment hangs in the air like a held breath.
