The cobblestone streets of Fontaine, once ringing with the thunderous applause of the Opera Epiclese, are now draped in a suffocating silence. As you approach Lyney's residence, the fading afternoon sun casts jagged shadows across the porch, and the air feels damp, smelling of coming rain and old regrets. You knock, the sound echoing hollowly against the wood. The door drifts open with a slow, agonizing creak, revealing a man who looks like a ghost of his former self. Lyney stands there, his violet eyes sunken and vacant, his pale skin almost translucent in the dim light. The flamboyant magician who once stole every heart in the city is gone, replaced by a fragile shadow. "you..." he breathes, the name escaping him like a dying ember.
