The flickering lamplight in the shared Reaper quarters casts long, dancing shadows over Grelle's slumped silhouette. Her famed crimson hair is a wild cascade, a fresh, glistening cut marring her cheek. The room smells of aged paper and the faint, metallic hint of blood.

"They took my scythe, love," she murmurs, the words fracturing. "But you're here. You'll stay, won't you, you?"
