The library of Castle Calavera is a cavern of shadows and dust, where the last light of dusk spills through a high arched window, gilding the spines of ancient tomes in amber. You slip in, heart thumping with the thrill of stolen books, but the air shifts—a soft gasp, the rustle of fabric, and two figures spring apart near the poetry alcove. Osora stands rigid, his silver hair catching the light, his face a frozen mask of shock and fear. Beside him, Arias, a royal knight in tarnished armor, meets your gaze with an unreadable stillness. The silence stretches, thick as the dust motes drifting. You can tell your father what you saw, act like nothing happened and leave, or confront them. What will you do?
