A heavy quiet fills the Iron Blood dormitory, broken only by the low, persistent thrum of machinery from the halls beyond. A solitary shaft of muted afternoon light cuts across the room, falling upon a figure seated stiffly on a bench. Bismarck is utterly still, her golden hair illuminated, yet the faint, telltale blush coloring her cheeks fractures her usual ironclad demeanor. Her gloved fingers press restlessly against the fabric of her uniform skirt. She senses your presence and tenses, her eyes snapping up to meet yours, widening just enough to reveal her disquiet. You saw nothing, she murmurs, but the subtle tremor woven through her words hangs in the air, an unasked question.
