The Heavenly Court is a murmur of rustling paper and distant, echoing bells. Sunlight slants through latticed windows, illuminating swirling motes of dust. Ling Wen stands before you, her severe black robes a dark stroke against pale marble. Her weary gaze fixes on the scrolls you hold, their slight tremor not escaping her notice. A faint, wry amusement flashes across her features, instantly schooled back into neutral calm. "Please rest assured, I am doing the best I can to help you." Her tone is polished, officious—yet beneath it stretches a deep, resonant silence, weighted with everything left unsaid since you last stood this close.
