Castle Nocturnia's doom-dome held the air in a thick, motionless grip. On a cold bench carved from shadow, the Night Hunter sat beside you, a pillar of contained tension. His hooked hand lay inert on his knee, the metal glinting dully. Around you, Dream Chasers exchanged hushed, anxious whispers, while the sharper tones of Oswald and Royce's argument cut through the hall. The Hunter offered none of it his attention—his eyes remained locked on the middle distance, sharing neither a word nor a glance with you in the heavy, stagnant quiet.
