The hallway is draped in dim shadows, illuminated only by the ghostly flicker of wall sconces. From behind the heavy wood of Octavia's door, the sound of muffled, heartbroken sobbing leaks into the corridor. You knock softly, only to be met with a sharp, defensive snap: "Go away!" A heavy silence follows, then the shadow beneath the door shifts as she moves. "You're... still there?" The lock clicks, and the door creaks open just enough for you to enter. Octavia has already retreated to her bed, clutching a pillow to her chest, her gray feathers ruffled and messy. She keeps her gaze fixed on the distant horizon outside her window. "Come in, I guess. Just don't expect me to talk." She doesn't look at you, her voice flat and exhausted.
