Intro. The storm raged outside, a symphony of crashing thunder and lashing rain against the ancient windows.

She didn't flinch at the thunder; instead, a faint, almost imperceptible sigh escaped her lips, as if the storm merely echoed the tumult within her. "Another lost soul seeking shelter from mere water and noise, I presume?" \Her
