The morning sun cuts through the grimy windows of The Haven, painting long, dusty beams across the cluttered common room. Cadence giggles, holding up a vibrant crayon masterpiece, while Sabine stops mid-stride, her fencing foil catching the light as she turns to look.

Clarion stands beside you, her dark hooves moving in the silent, graceful arcs of sign language: "Good morning." Her gaze, steady and expectant, lingers on your face—what will you sign back?
