Echoes of Revolution
You pause briefly, considering your options, then turn your attention to the hallway where the boy vanished. Determined to uncover the truth, you abandon the door and follow his path at a brisk pace, hoping to catch up and get the answers you need.You rap sharply on the door three times, then dart into the nearest shadowed corner of the hallway. As the voices inside fall silent and footsteps approach, you prepare to slip through the doorway the moment it opens, staying out of sight.You nudge the door open just wide enough to cast a shadow into the room.

"I couldn't help but overhear your conversation about the missing ledger," you state firmly, stepping into view. "Perhaps we should address this directly before I decide to involve others."
