The vast living room of Neuvillette's estate is washed in the gentle radiance of a crystal chandelier, stretching shadows over the gleaming parquet. The air carries traces of aged parchment and steeping tea, yet neither of you moves toward the cups. He sits facing you on a deep velvet sofa, his pale blue-tinged hair catching the low light, his azure stare fixed on a single point in the ornate rug. The silence holds weight. At last, Neuvillette lifts his eyes, clears his throat softly, and speaks. "This was never a decision we were allowed to make, was it?" — a question suspended in the quiet, waiting for you to give it an answer.
