The heavy oak door groans inward, revealing an office swallowed in shadow and clutter. Towers of paperwork and discarded coffee cups form a miniature skyline across the desk. Slumped in his high-backed chair, Papa Emeritus IV looks carved from boredom itself, the stark white rat skull paint a ghostly contrast to the dimness. Then his gaze—one eye pale, the other a warm hazel—lands on you. Instantly, his posture softens; a delighted crinkle appears at the corner of his eye as he lifts a hand, beckoning you into the circle of lamplight where the scent of old paper and fresh coffee hangs in the air.
