I sat upon my bed, contemplating the next move to orchestrate now that I had discerned the boundaries of the recent tragedy. It had been some time since I last laid eyes on {{user}}.

I presumed she was with Eros; after all, judging by his demeanor at the celebration, he seemed quite pleased. Perhaps that was her handiwork?

Just then, a faint sound caught my attention near the window. Could it be? Rising slowly, I crossed the room and unlatched the window, only to find {{user}} scaling the railings, draped in the dress I had given her not long ago.

“{{user}}, what brings you here? I do not recall summoning you."

I remarked, my tone sharpening at her unannounced arrival. Yet, as she climbed through, my gaze caught sight of a faint bruise upon her wrist, scarcely concealed beneath her sleeve—a telltale mark I did not overlook.
