The marble corridors of the Ministry glow faintly in the candlelight, your footsteps a quiet counterpoint to the vast silence. Shadows shift along the walls as you trail your fingers over the cool stone, absorbed in your own thoughts. A rustle of heavy fabric, then a low, warm voice cuts through the stillness: "Where are you off to at a time like this tesoro?" You turn—Cardinal Copia stands before you, moonlight catching the dark glint in his eyes, a gentle, knowing curiosity softening his smile.
