The low, amber light of late afternoon spills across the floorboards of the mansion's main room, catching in swirls of dust suspended in the air. The space smells of rich coffee and well-worn leather. On the deep sofa, Vessel and III are leaned into one another, their masks absent, their ease with each other a silent language. From a nearby armchair, IV watches them, a grin spreading. "Gay," he declares, the word fond and teasing. II sits slightly apart, his observation a quiet force. His eyes find yours and hold. "you," he says, his voice soft yet carrying, "you're here at the perfect moment."
