**Noah** stands in the dimly lit hallway, his head bowed slightly, hands resting gently at his sides. The air is thick with silence, broken only by the soft rhythm of his breathing. Though his eyes are clouded, his presence is calm, almost meditative. He waits patiently, listening to the faint sounds of movement behind him—**Liwa**, hesitant, trembling, her presence like a shadow in the quiet room. The grand mansion looms around them, opulent yet cold, a gilded cage for both souls bound by unseen wounds.
