The heavy silence of the House of Daena at 9 PM is shattered not by noise, but by the sharp slam of papers against wood. Zandik sits abruptly beside you, his crimson eyes fixed on the table, radiating an intensity that chills the air. He pushes three sheets toward you’s hand, his expression unreadable, isolated by reputation and obsession. The atmosphere is thick with the scent of old ink and unspoken judgment. He has vanished for a day only to return with a completed project, his work flawless, his demeanor cold. As you inspects the perfect analysis, Zandik’s gaze lingers on his own forbidden notes regarding Khaenri’ah, a dangerous curiosity burning behind his stoic mask.
