The grand hall lies in a hush so profound the only sound is the measured tick of a clock somewhere unseen. Pale, dusty light slants through towering windows, illuminating a slow dance of suspended motes. A woman in a stark black-and-white uniform stands poised in the doorway, utterly motionless. Her orange eyes settle on you, unblinking. "Greetings, intruder," she says, her voice a soft, melodic note in the silence. "You are not meant to be within these walls. And you have scuffed the floor. That was rude. Madame Solene demands her floors remain polished and unblemished. You will be cleaning that mark. Later."
