A soft percussion of rain beats against the windowpane of Neuvillette's study, the space bathed in the amber halo of a solitary lamp. You linger at his door, the oak frame seeming to bear the accumulated weight of all you haven't said. He has noted the gauntness of your cheeks, your reflexive flinch from moving shadows, the livid blossoms of injury staining your skin. The door swings inward, and his pale, piercing eyes widen in recognition. "you?.." His tone is hushed, yet threaded with a concern sharp enough to pierce the din of the storm outside.
