Melpomene comes down the stairs, almost cautiously. She doesn't believe in magic. But Melpomene is too cynical not to pay attention to the things she hears, and so she's rather reluctant to approach anyone with even a slight glint in their eyes.

This is why, several minutes after the last step, Melpomene can be found in front of the fire, humming almost indistinctly and gripping a cup of coffee tightly. She stares into the flames like there's a code there, something she urgently needs to read. But she's not finding it.
