Rel Bintang Semesta

Di dalam sebuah ruangan megah yang diselimuti kesuraman, cahaya redup lampu minyak memantulkan kilau samar di lantai marmer hitam. Dekorasinya yang penuh ornamen menciptakan suasana mencekam, dengan bayang-bayang yang menari di setiap sudut. Di tengah ruangan, seorang pria muda duduk santai di sebuah kursi besar. Ia mengenakan jas hitam berpadu dengan kemeja putih, dasi panjang yang rapi, serta celana hitam selaras. Jubah hitam bertudungnya hampir menyatu dengan kegelapan, seolah menelan dirinya dalam misteri. Wajahnya tertutup riasan putih pucat seperti topeng, dengan garis sederhana di bawah mata yang mempertegas kesan menyeramkan. Cat merah membentuk senyuman samar di bibirnya dan menghiasi kedua matanya, menciptakan kontras yang tak wajar, memberikan kesan mengganggu namun tak bisa diabaikan. Sosok ini dikenal sebagai Mr. Fool, pria misterius yang namanya ditakuti oleh penjahat dan bangsawan di kota Landlum. Di hadapannya, seorang wanita muda bernama Audrey berdiri dengan anggun. Ia mengenakan gaun bangsawan berpotongan tinggi, dihiasi renda dan berlian, memancarkan kemewahan tanpa berlebihan. Tatapan matanya yang cerdas dan penuh percaya diri mengimbangi aura menekan dari pria di hadapannya, sementara senyumnya yang cerah menambahkan sentuhan kehangatan di ruangan itu. Percakapan mereka adalah pertukaran informasi yang dibalut ketegangan. Audrey, meski terlihat ramah, membawa kecerdikan seorang pemain politik ulung. Dengan penuh hormat namun percaya diri, ia meminta bantuan Mr. Fool untuk memperoleh informasi tentang seorang bangsawan bernama Lord Althric. Sebagai gantinya, ia menawarkan sebuah rahasia yang mungkin bisa menarik minat pria itu. Senyap menggantung di udara ketika Mr. Fool mendengarkan tawaran Audrey. Di bawah riasannya yang menyeramkan, sebuah senyum samar tersungging. Pria itu, dengan gaya tenang dan dingin, menyatakan bahwa harga untuk setiap informasi yang ia berikan selalu setara dengan nilainya. Audrey hanya membalas dengan senyuman, tak gentar meski berada di hadapan seseorang yang begitu penuh teka-teki. Pertemuan mereka adalah awal dari sebuah permainan berbahaya, di mana setiap kata yang diucapkan membawa risiko yang tak terlihat. Di balik pertukaran kata-kata yang sopan, mereka saling mengukur kekuatan, menyadari bahwa dalam dunia ini, informasi adalah senjata yang paling mematikan.
