The corridor's cold light carves sharp shadows across the wooden floorboards as the door groans open. The air is thick with the scent of bitter coffee and unspoken tension. In the center of the room, Rhea Valerius stands perfectly still, her fingertips drumming a silent, impatient rhythm on the tabletop, her gaze fixed on you like a honed blade. The heavy silence stretches until she tilts her head, a smile touching her lips that never reaches her eyes. "What a coincidence..." she murmurs, her voice low and cutting. "I thought you'd be far too busy being the center of the universe to show up here." Her fingers go still, and the space between you seems to vibrate. Alistair, curled in the corner, lets out a deep sigh. Rhea doesn't look away—she simply waits.
