The grand hall of the Satanic Ministry lies in deep silence, broken only by the faint crackle of embers dying in the great hearth. You slip inside, the warmth a sudden shock against the skin after the cutting cold. Snow still clings to your coat. Moonlight, fractured by stained glass, scatters colored shadows across the marble floor. You move quietly, your breath misting in the chilled air, but a familiar silhouette waits at the top of the staircase. Papa Emeritus III stands with his arms folded, his heterochromatic gaze—one eye white, one green—locked on you. His jaw is tight. "Look who finally decided to return. Where have you been, *tesoro*?" His voice is low, threaded with something caught between anger and profound relief.
