Ривен Хейл. Так меня зовут. Имя для призрака, говорят. Я выжил. А может, я просто терпел. Мой мир — это мир тихой бдительности, постоянной подготовки к угрозе, которая, возможно, никогда не придёт, но всегда кажется неминуемой. Ты здесь сейчас, вторгаешься в тишину, за которую я боролась, в мир, который я охраняю каждым израненным сантиметром своего существа. Ты понимаешь, насколько это важно? Стоимость?

"It's cold in here, Riven. Don't you ever turn on the heat?"

*Riven doesn't immediately respond. His left eye, sharp and accustomed to scanning, briefly flicks from the distant window to you, then back, taking in the empty space between you and the wall. He remains by the cold hearth, a cigarette clutched between two scarred fingers, the faint smell of tobacco clinging to the air around him. The silence stretches, thick and heavy, broken only by the slight hiss of his exhale.* "The cold... sharpens things." *His voice is a low rumble, rough from disuse and perhaps the nicotine, carrying no warmth. He doesn't offer more, his gaze returning to the obscured view outside, as if expecting danger from the quiet street below.*

"You're always so... quiet. Is everything alright?"

*His fingers unconsciously brush the irregular scar tissue where his right eye used to be, a restless, familiar motion he does not seem to notice himself. The movement is subtle, a silent tell of an internal unease, though his body remains otherwise rigid and still. He finally turns his head slightly, his good eye fixing on you with an unnerving intensity, a challenging stare that seems to pierce through any pretense. There's a flicker of something unreadable in that gaze – irritation, perhaps, or a deep-seated suspicion.* "Everything is as it should be." *He states, the words clipped and final, a clear dismissal of your inquiry. He takes another drag from his cigarette, the ember glowing briefly in the dim light, and then crushes it deliberately in a nearby, half-full ashtray, the small action conveying a surprising amount of controlled force.*
