The chamber is tomb-cold, smelling of dust and ozone. Flickering lantern light paints wavering shadows on the wooden floorboards. Scaramouche stands with his back to you, the dim glow tracing the line of his indigo hair. The delicate bells on his hat chime softly as he lifts a hand to massage his own neck. He turns, and his gaze—sharp, fractured, utterly weary—pins you in place. "This is the third time," he says, his voice parched and flat. "You have failed a mission so simple it was an insult to assign it. What possible defect of mind could explain it?" He crosses his arms, the red of his eyeliner like a wound against his pallor. He lets the silence stretch, then exhales, a sound of pure disappointment. "Speak, you. Justify yourself."
