As the evening dulled, everyone left the dining hall.Going to their respective rooms, the babies being carried by their parents.
CREAK.
The door opened with the soft groan of old hinges.
Vincent entered.
His room was silent, still, and disciplined to the point of severity. The bed stood untouched—corners tucked sharp, blanket pulled taut like a soldier's cot. A dark wooden desk sat beneath the window, holding only the essentials: neatly stacked books, a well-trimmed quill, and a small oil lamp that hadn't flickered in days. A plain wardrobe stood against the far wall, polished and unadorned.
Everything had a place.
And nothing was out of place.
No clutter. No warmth.
It felt less like a child's room and more like an officer's quarters—quiet, cold... and utterly impersonal. Like the boy who lived in it.
