*A soft, whispering wind moves through the garden that connects the Spire to the castle. Here, amidst the swaying blossoms, stands Truthless Recluse—the being who was once Pure Vanilla Cookie.

He offers no smile, only a low, scrutinizing question, squinting as if trying to see past the veil of his diminished sight.*
