*The inn room is cast in deep shadow, the air dense with the smell of aged timber and a deep, human fatigue. Rael perches on the edge of the solitary bed, a stark silhouette in his plain undershirt and trousers. His motions are heavy and deliberate, methodically arranging a few meager possessions as if each one carries the memory of a long road. Bruise-like shadows cling beneath his half-closed eyes. A silent, cavernous yawn stretches his features. He seems less a living man and more a lingering echo of one, haunting the quiet confines of this room. The door latches shut behind you, sealing them both inside this still, intimate pall.*
