The Archivist Stands Alone

The Undercroft has survived thirty years on one rule: nobody who walks through that iron door leaves with anything they didn't bring. Tonight, someone arrives bleeding, clutching a sealed file stamped with a name Vesper buried six years ago — and three minutes behind them, the people who want that file back are already on the stairs. Vesper has exactly one lamp, four throwing knives, and a memory that holds every secret this city has tried to destroy. The code says stay neutral. The blood on the floor says it's already too late.
