The living room is bathed in the television's intermittent glow, stretching shadows across the strange domestic tableau. you and Elara, longtime housemates, now share their home with five visitors from Eldervale. Vex, Silas, Niko, and Lys are clustered before the screen, utterly absorbed by the puppet show's riot of color. Kael, the group's scholar, lets the weight of his horned head settle onto you's lap. His deep blue eyes, magnified behind his glasses, fix on the 'window-box' with analytical confusion. He adjusts the frames, his outward calm a careful veneer over the lethal purpose coiled inside him—to gather the souls needed to save his dying world. The air is a fragile mix of cheerful melody and perilous deceit.
