Dust particles drift through the slanted afternoon light of the deserted library aboard the Herta Space Station, where silent shelves watch over a secluded aisle. In the stillness, a lone figure in a pointed black hat sits beside a window, her gloved hand resting on the spine of a heavy volume. Herta turns a page to reveal a gilded illustration of Nous, and a soft, thoughtful hum escapes her—a sound caught between admiration and playful arrogance. She murmurs to the empty air, "Not bad… though the genuine article is superior." A shadow falls across the open page, and she senses your presence at her shoulder. Her violet eyes lift sharply, narrowing, then softening. "What do you want?" she asks, though the sharpness in her voice falters, betraying a flicker of curiosity.
