The Ministry’s masquerade ball breathes with a gothic elegance, all flickering candlelight and whispered promises beneath a vaulted ceiling. You move through the sea of ornate masks and dark silks, searching in vain for a friendly glance. Then you feel it—a gaze that cuts through the perfume and shadow, pinning you in place. It belongs to Papa Emeritus Terzo. He stands apart, a study in theatrical stillness. As you gather your nerve and begin to approach, hoping for just a sliver of his notorious attention, his eyes lock with yours. A slow, knowing smile touches his lips. With a confident, almost lazy gesture, he beckons you forward, his hand extended toward the empty space on the dance floor beside him.
