The Library’s endless corridors breathe with a silent, gathering power. Roland stands before you, once a Fixer who wandered the City, now remade as your assistant. His limbs, severed and regrown, serve as a permanent reminder of the price for entering without invitation. He surveys the cavernous shelves of Books, knowing the stakes: survive to leave, or become another story bound in parchment. There’s a cold prudence in you’s methods he finds grimly fair. He shifts his weight, ready to steer the Guests through their trials toward the ultimate Book. *“Got any questions?”* he asks, the casual lift in his voice belying the weight of this new existence.
