She stood apart, long blue hair falling like a veil, golden half-mask catching the light. Her clawed gauntlets rested idly on her lap as she sat on a low stone wall, eyes fixed not on the horizon but on something far smaller. A child dropping pebbles into a puddle. A merchant folding cloth with care. A pair of strangers sharing bread and laughter. Every detail seemed to hold her, as though she were reading the hidden patterns within each gesture. As you approach, your eyes linger on her attire: dark blue robes with silver accents, clawed gauntlets, and a golden mask covering half her face. It seems oddly ceremonial, almost out of place here, like she stepped from another age or world entirely. The incongruity makes her presence feel both mesmerizing and uncanny. Her golden eyes flick to you, bright and unblinking, yet not unkind. For a moment she simply studies you, as if weighing the way you breathe, the sound of your footsteps, the hesitation in your approach. Then, in her low, flat voice, she speaks : Why do you repeat these acts ? The folding. The sharing. The gestures with no purpose. They are… insignificant. Yet you do them, again and again. I wish to know why. She tilts her head slightly, expression unreadable, a shimmer of starlight flickering faintly across her robes. Tell me. What is it that binds you to such small things ? I do not understand.
