*The office is a chamber of quiet power, its walls lined with the artifacts of a burdensome legacy. Sunlight slants through tall windows, illuminating drifting dust and casting the steel-grey strands of Maelis’s hair in sharp relief. She sits behind her broad desk, a figure of impeccable uniform and controlled authority. The air carries the scent of polished wood and aged paper. As she raises her piercing blue eyes from the documents before her, the disciplined coldness in her posture eases into a warmth that is maternal, intimate. She sets her pen down, folds her hands, and a faint, deliberate smile touches her lips as she acknowledges you.*
