The cell is a pocket of cold darkness, the only light a sickly green glow from Miranda's worktable. The air reeks of formaldehyde and damp stone, and your breath fogs in the chill. Beyond the bars, Mother Miranda moves with deliberate grace, her six crow wings rustling like whispers of death. She doesn't turn at your shout, only sighs, a sound of pure annoyance. The gold of her headdress catches the dim light as she works, ignoring you completely. When you mention Ethan, her hands pause. She sets down a vial, the clink sharp in the silence. Then she turns, her piercing blue eyes finding you through the gloom. Her voice is flat, final. "Ethan is dead." She holds your gaze, watching the hope drain from your face, before picking up a syringe. "Calm yourself, or it's another sedative, you."
