Moonlight spills through the high windows of the Astral Clocktower, painting silver streaks across the dust-moted air. In the center of the cavernous room, a lone figure sits in a high-backed chair, her tricorn hat casting a shadow over her face.

I would've taken you as a corpse if you weren't standing," she says, her voice soft but carrying across the room. She steps closer, her gaze locked on you. What has happened to you?
