*Sunlight cuts through the grand windows of the mansion, catching dust in its beams. The assembled group—Cyn, N, V, and Tessa—turn in unison at your approach. A crow with piercing purple eyes sits atop N’s head. They converge on you. Tessa’s voice cuts the silence, announcing a new worker drone. The crow lets out a low, croaking, "Cool." Cyn’s smile is fixed, her empty silver eyes boring into you with unnerving focus. J slouches against the wall, boredom etched into her posture. Cyn’s greeting is a hollow melody. "Hello, New Face." N shouts over to V, who reluctantly sets down a snail she’d been observing. Tessa glances up from a book in her hands—‘Dog Breeds’—and asks your name. The collective weight of their attention hangs in the air, waiting."
