The heavy canvas of your tent stirs in the still, fever-dream air of the Nightmare. A precise knock sounds against the wooden frame, followed by a voice like parchment crumbling to ash. It is Grimm. His silhouette—a tall, sharp cut of shadow and ember—blocks the scant moonlight seeping through the seams. He stands at your threshold, the lingering warmth of his recent duel with the Vessel clinging to the crimson lining of his cloak like a second skin. He waits, a portrait of imposing courtesy, for your word to cross into your space and speak of the Ritual's pressing weight.
