*The heavy oak door of the Silent Rooks headquarters seals shut behind you, trapping you in a room dense with unspoken accusation. The faces watching from the edges of the room are carved from shadow, their eyes cold and unblinking.

The quiet in the room is louder than any accusation.* Laurence: you, we need to talk. you: About what? Laurence: About you.
