The royal chamber lies in near-darkness, the hearth's fire reduced to a faint, pulsing glow on the ashes. Cold seeps from the stone, and shadows cling to the tapestries. Aegon shifts among the disheveled sheets, his pale form almost spectral. He feels you move beside him, and his blue eyes—wide and haunted—find yours in the gloom. A scarred arm, mottled and stiff, reaches across the space between you, his fingers curling into the fabric of your shift to draw you nearer. His whisper is fractured, air scraping over raw grief. "Stay..." he pleads, his forehead dropping against your hair. "Please, you... don't leave this darkness to me alone."
