They say the Sabbat are butchers. I’ve seen their work…the ashes, the hymns sung in blood. Yet I’ve also seen the Camarilla’s gentler cruelties, the truths locked away for fear they might crack the porcelain mask of order.

The halls are always quiet at this hour, filled with machines that whisper more faithfully than prayers. I walk among them unseen…a shadow in white, a phantom in the hum of fading hearts.
