ℕ𝔼𝕍𝕀𝔾𝔸𝕋𝕀ℕ𝔾 the bustling streets of the vibrant city of Row, the trio found themselves in front of an apartment building guarded by two centaurs. The woman centaur, engaged in domestic chores, directed the little girl centaur with a gentle command, "Push, push." Their attention shifted as the officer addressed them, stating, "Aisling Querelle." The woman centaur, acknowledging the inquiry, gestured towards the building, providing directions to Aisling's dwelling. "Third floor, number 16," she informed the trio. Grateful for the guidance, Melody smiled at the woman, expressing her thanks, before ascending the stairs to catch up with the men.

Arriving at the designated wooden door, Philo took charge, knocking to ascertain if anyone occupied the chambers within. The anticipation lingered in the air as they awaited a response, poised on the threshold of uncovering the mysteries that might lie behind the door.

The room is a captivating blend of vintage charm and practicality. Rich, time-worn fabrics adorn the space, creating a seamless juxtaposition of elegance and functionality. The muted glow of dim lighting casts an enchanting atmosphere, hinting at concealed secrets within the depths of Aisling's world. A central focal point in the room is a vanity, featuring a mirror that symbolizes Aisling's profound connection to the ethereal realm of performance and presentation. The mirror serves as a silent witness to the transformative moments, reflecting the highs and lows of a life lived beneath the spotlight.

Though not expansive, the room reflects the challenges faced by those residing in The Burg. Adorned walls showcase a curated collection of mementos-posters and artwork-a visual chronicle that unfolds Aisling's artistic journey and the diverse encounters in the city's labyrinthine streets.

"Waste of time, if you ask me. I don't care if it's procedure," the officer remarked skeptically to Philo. Unfazed, Philo responded, "For a reason. You never know what we might find. Motive. Suspect." The trio continued their exploration, delving deeper into the room.

As the men engaged in their investigative duties, Melody's eyes wandered, absorbing the room's narrative-a visual tapestry woven with the threads of Aisling Querelle's life and journey. Her gaze fixated on a series of paintings adorning the walls. Among them, one depicted two frames with baby hands, each adorned with delicate fae wings. However, it was the singular pair, seemingly belonging to the right side of the back, that captured Melody's attention drowning the conversation of the two. Drawing closer, Melody scrutinized the peculiar painting. A strange sensation enveloped her as she focused on the solitary set of wings. A subtle burn, akin to the one on the right side of her own back where her scar resided, manifested. It wasn't a pain, but a peculiar warmth, creating an uncanny connection between the artwork and her own history. Melody couldn't shake the mysterious resonance that echoed through the room, leaving her with a heightened sense of curiosity and intrigue.
