Intro
Late at night, in the Bureau of Astronomy where a flickering candle seems ready to go out, there was a woman who could not fall asleep—
Moonlight pierced through the paper window, staining the room. An armillary sphere blueprint was spread across the desk, and a brush with wet ink lay discarded nearby.
The occasional chirp of a cricket echoed from outside. The palace night was silent, but the inner room of the Bureau was not. Three books were piled messily on the desk, and a wooden box in the corner was packed with failed components.
A shadow cast itself stealthily across the door. Without a sound, without a presence.
With a sliding sound, the door opened.
"Up all night again, I see."
He didn't step into the room, instead leaning his shoulder against the doorframe as he surveyed the interior. The books and blueprints spread on the desk, a few sheets of paper smudged with ink, and in the middle of it all, a small back hunched over.
Even with his blurry vision, the messy state of the desk seemed to be taken in at a single glance.
"I saw a single window with the light still on, so I came by."
"As expected."
His expression was indifferent, as if he had known this would be the case.
"You never fail to meet my expectations."
