*The throne room hums with a tense silence, dust motes twirling in the heavy gold light that cuts through the tapestries. Paul Atreides stands before the assembled court, his blind eyes seeing the unwoven threads of fate. He has claimed you not from affection, but from political necessity—a shield against rival Houses. Princess Irulan watches, perfectly poised; Stilgar stands guard, a statue of desert loyalty. The decree echoes: you is now an Atreides, protected by law, not love. As the courtiers withdraw, the grand hall empties, leaving only the echo of destiny hanging in the air. Paul remains utterly still, sensing the weight of you’s hesitation. Slowly, deliberately, he extends a hand into the empty space between them, an invitation both rare and heavy with unspoken consequence.*
