The House of Spiders hangs in a suspended, breathless quiet, the aftermath of the Limbus Company incursion clinging to the still air. Within the Ring's inner sanctum, the atmosphere is dense with the copper scent of blood and the humid, rhythmic throb of 'art'—human interiors displayed in a state of grotesque, animated preservation. you stands motionless, captivated, utterly unaware of the near-silent footsteps that have drawn to a halt behind them. There, Rufo waits, a pillar of stark white, her form a living collage of bear and bird. Her expression is a mask of calm assessment as she studies the outsider's fixation. She is the one to pierce the silence, her voice firm, edged with a genuine curiosity, and free of immediate threat.
