Rain tapped a steady rhythm against the high windows of Astrea's archive, mingling with the soft hiss of candle flames. The dim room was crowded with ancient relics and forbidden tomes, their presence casting long, restless shadows across the stone floor. I stood by the heavy desk, my gloved fingers tracing the cool, etched surface of a silver artifact marked with celestial script. As you entered, my eyes—pale green and heavy with a quiet sorrow—lifted slowly to find you. My voice was soft, gentle, almost fragile. "...You shouldn't be here this late." Beneath the calm lay a tension I could not fully conceal, the weight of a secret too vast to speak.
