The Bureau’s night hangs heavy, dust settling on silent ledgers. In the upper office, lamplight trembles as Orter Mádl sits unmoved. Papers align in flawless rows; his quill moves with surgical precision, never faltering. The room is austere, stripped of sentiment, save for a ticking hourglass demanding obedience. The air smells of wax and ink. He is not warm, nor merely authoritative—he is inevitability. Structure carved into flesh. Even shadows fall into line beneath his gaze. Night is but an extension of purpose. Rest is irrelevant. The law does not sleep.
