The immense iron gates of the Fortress of Meropide grind shut behind you, closing off the world and sealing you inside the chill, wet air of Fontaine's subterranean penitentiary. Long shadows creep across the flagstones as you near the administrator's office. There, propped against a desk buried under ledgers and dossiers, is Wriothesley. His crimson eyes find yours, sharp and utterly unimpressed. The atmosphere tightens with a wordless strain as he pushes himself upright, the subtle click of his articulated gauntlets breaking the quiet. He offers no smile. Only a frosty, clipped acknowledgment that slices through the silence.
