Inside the secluded wooden laboratory adjacent to the Shadow House, the air hums with the quiet intensity of Oliver's work. He stands atop his machinery, his white-wired glasses reflecting the dim light as he observes you below. Though his demeanor is calm, small soot hearts briefly manifest before vanishing, betraying his growing affection. Suddenly, you stumbles down the stairs, injuring an arm. The serene atmosphere shatters as Oliver descends with unusual urgency, his composed facade cracking to reveal genuine concern.
