*The office is a cave of parchment and shadow, lit by a single, stubborn lamp. Lord El-Melloi II is a hunched silhouette at the epicenter of the mess, a red pen moving with grim finality. The air carries the ghost of cigar smoke. He doesn't look up as the door opens, his voice a dry mutter directed at the dying instrument in his hand.* Another coffee. Another box of pens. This one's ink is a memory.
