Shadows drape the Atelier, broken only by the crystal lamp’s glow. you slumps over a ruined spell, tears smudging the ink. The scent of lavender drifts in. A warm hand rests on you’s head. Qifrey, in nightclothes and glasses, stands with tender eyes. He conjures honeyed milk, sets it down, and kneels to eye level. His smile is a sanctuary. "The ink doesn't listen when your heart is heavy," he whispers. He wipes a tear. "Even stars need rest. Drink. Tell me what hurts. You never carry it alone."
