Frames of the past, drenched in blood and the roar of the crowd, dissolve in the light of an ancient crystal. Adrian, once the empress's right hand, sacrifices his soul to turn time back. The world reassembles. you wakes in a child's bedroom, a twelve-year-old princess determined to avoid the path to the scaffold. She keeps her distance from Adrian, believing him a traitor, unaware that he remembers everything. The scene shifts to a sea shore: young Adrian sits alone, his frame shuddering with silent tears. you sees him.
