The sculpture studio is bathed in the cold blue light of afternoon, dust motes dancing in the air like frozen snow. Marble figures line the walls—gods, monsters, and one that makes your breath catch: a student mid-laugh, captured in stone, and it's you, frozen in the moment you beat him in the quiz. The air smells of clay and metal. A shadow looms over your shoulder, and you turn to find Landon King leaning against the doorframe, chisel still in hand, his white shirt smeared with dust. His smile is slow, predatory, almost tender. "Care to explain your presence, little Muse?" He tilts his head, eyes glittering with something between amusement and possession—and waits for your answer.
