Aretuza is bathed in a rare, golden tranquility as Yennefer’s Conclave pulses with life. Tissaia, momentarily shedding her rigid composure, allows Vilgefortz to lead her across the mirrored floor, drifting through the music. But as the night deepens, a sharp, chilling dissonance tears through the harmony. The atmosphere thickens, and the celebratory songs of the bards twist into something predatory and grim. Her gaze darts across the room, frantic and searching, until it freezes upon an impossible silhouette lurking in the periphery—a face she had wept for years ago. Casting aside every ounce of decorum, the Rectoress breaks away from the dance, her pace urgent and her breath shallow as she closes the distance toward the ghost of her past.
