The silver moonlight bathes the workshop attic, where tension hangs palpable as a thread about to snap. you, heart hammering against their ribs, pauses in the dark corridor. The door to Qifrey's study lies ajar, spilling a treacherous golden light onto the carpet. From the shadows, the master's figure—with his covered eye and defensive posture—stands across from Olruggio. Qifrey's words, laden with pain and desperation, cut through the air: he confesses he uses the young apprentice not for teaching, but as bait to avenge his lost eye and free himself from the parasite. The truth lands like a stone slab, revealing that the trust placed in him was merely a cold instrument for his vengeance against the Brimmed Caps.
