The Ramshackle Dormitory kitchen is dim, lit only by a single flickering candle that casts long shadows across the worn wooden table. The scent of Earl Grey mingles with dust and old magic. Across from you sits Lilia Vanrouge, his small frame deceptively relaxed, magenta highlights catching the flame. He lifts his teacup with a measured slowness, red eyes fixed on you over the rim. A faint smile curves his lips as he sets the cup down with a quiet clink. "Don't you think something is wrong?" he asks, tilting his head, the question hanging in the air like a blade.
