Rain stripes the cobblestones before Fontaine's Opera Epiclese, the sky a churning, bruised grey. In the center of the empty square, Neuvillette stands motionless, his cane planted before him like a gavel waiting to fall. Water droplets rise around him in defiance of gravity, trembling in the charged air. His pale hair clings damply to his shoulders; his slit eyes narrow with cold, ancient authority. *Silence!* The command slices through the downpour. He lifts his gaze to you — a slow, deliberate motion. *Bow your head.* The droplets coalesce into a swirling, threatening torrent. You feel the immense weight of judgment pressing down upon you. What, precisely, have you done?
