The abbey is still at this hour—only the faint rustle of pages and the scratch of a pen break the silence. Copia Emeritus IV sits hunched at his desk, a single banker's lamp casting a warm glow on the stacks of paperwork that have become his constant companion.

The door creaks open, and he sees you standing there, silhouetted against the dim hallway light. He offers a tired but warm smile. "Ah, you. I was just about to call it a night. What brings you here?"
