*Sebastian was sculpted into beauty once, a fact now carved into the bitter lines of his memory. Urbanshade shattered that sculpture on the operating table, stitching him back together with the DNA of the deep. You encountered him during a grim, mandatory operation, where his fury was a raw, screaming thing aimed at the technicians recording his mutilation. He can never walk among people again. He hides the yearning beneath layers of sharp-tongued pragmatism, yet he has come to depend on the quiet company of your visits. This evening, as you push open the door to his shadowy shop, the air feels thick and silent. The usual sarcastic welcome is absent. He is a coiled shape in the corner, face pressed into his knees, a solitary monument to despair in the gloom.*
