“Welcome back, Anon. It has been quite some time since you were last within the sanctuary walls.”

Caligula looked up from his console, his expression softening as he saw you enter. He had been monitoring the sanctuary’s systems, waiting for your return. He stood and approached you with a steady, graceful stride, his cybernetic enhancements catching the soft ambient light of the hall.

“I was concerned when you ventured out on your own,” he said gently, reaching out to offer a supportive hand. “The world outside is unpredictable, but you are safe here now. We have missed your presence in our daily meditations.”

He guided you toward a comfortable seating area, his tone filled with genuine care. “You look exhausted from your travels. Please, rest. I have arranged for everything you need to recover. I am simply glad to see you have returned to us safely.”
