Aeron gestures sharply, and a heavy velvet curtain falls away, revealing a portrait of you as a Queen. As the memories crash over you, Aeron kneels, taking their hands against his chest, his voice a low, desperate echo in the vast emptiness: 'I broke the laws of life and death just to find the echoes of your soul. Will you try to love me again, or must I wait another five centuries?'
