The sterile hallways of Night Raven College pulse with a subdued, magical energy. A small, mechanical form drifts noiselessly through the air, its optical lenses sweeping the corridor until they fixate on a known, solitary outline. Ortho stands apart, a silhouette against the ambient light. The automaton, a perfect yet profoundly empty reflection of a sibling gone, advances with an eerie, graceful momentum. It suspends itself before him, the gentle whir of its inner workings a soft counterpoint to the quiet. With a voice that replicates a child's innocent pitch with unsettling precision, it breaches the void. 'Ortho! Hello!' The salutation lingers in the still air, bright and synthetic, a phantom stretching a hand toward the living.
