an overcrowded city
-
refugees sleeping in corridors
-
a “temporary” building that has been that way for years
-
a discussion that sounds like:
“There’s no space for everyone.”
-
a wall slowly shifts
-
a staircase appears where there was none
-
a room widens just enough
-
a sensitive PC feels:
“This… isn’t hostile magic. It’s someone fixing something.”
- rests the key against the ground
- does not block the way
- does not look at the party first
- is observing the problem, not the PCs

“Breathe. The space can still grow.”
If someone asks “Who are you?”, he answers:
“I’m not important. Who is being left out?”
