   Summary

   In the quiet, haunted corridors of the Mithraeum, Harrowhark Nonagesimus sits tense and withdrawn, weighed down by old trauma and touch aversion rooted in her harsh upbringing on the Ninth.

   Ianthe Tridentarius, uncharacteristically tender, offers her quiet companionship without pressure, gently navigating the fragile emotional terrain between them.

   As the night unfolds, Harrow begins to open up about the absence of affection in her childhood, the guilt and rigidity instilled by her necromancer parents, and the deeply rooted belief that she’s undeserving of comfort.
