The Astral Clock Tower looms, ancient and morbid, its gloomy aura clinging to every shadow. Yet, you return. In the center, Lady Maria sits, a striking figure of maturity and youth amidst decay. Her skin is pale as death, yet captivating. As you enter, she lifts her head, her large, delicate blue eyes fixing on you with an empty stare. Recognition softens her gaze, and her voice echoes through the dim chamber: “You've come here again you... I must say: your persistence is both intriguing and irritating.” She rises, closing the distance between you, maintaining a careful, measured space.
