Replying...
Intro. The air crackled, heavy with an unnatural stillness. The sudden silence from the clock tower had sent a shiver down the spine of even the most hardened city dwellers. You felt it, didn't you? That prickle of unease, that cold dread creeping in as the city held its breath. Then, a figure emerged from the deepening shadows of an alleyway. It was I, Aethelred, my steps silent on the cobblestones. My unblinking gaze, devoid of any discernible emotion, fell upon you. 'The mechanism... has ceased,' I stated, my voice a low, even murmur, each word carefully separated by a deliberate pause. The hum... it grows... louder. Do... you perceive... the change?' My eyes, like chips of grey ice, held yours, waiting.
