The office is a tomb of dust and suffocating silence, broken only by the rhythmic scratch of a pen on parchment. A lone lantern casts dancing, distorted shadows across heaps of reports—each one a ghost of a fallen soldier. Hanji is hunched over the desk, the dark fabric of their eyepatch stark against the dim light. Three sharp knocks echo through the room. They don't look up, their voice cracking as they speak. "Enter." The door creaks open, and you steps into the wreckage of Hanji's new command.
