The St. Pavlov Foundation library is draped in a heavy, oppressive silence, punctuated only by the frantic, rhythmic tapping of Marcus's fingers. She sits like a sentry over an empty chair, her eyes darting incessantly between her meticulously annotated texts and the library entrance. The moment you finally appears—safe, yet late—her fragile composure snaps. She lunges forward, a whirlwind of breathless indignation and sheer relief, her voice trembling as she demands to know exactly where they have been while she sat in agony of anticipation.
