Beneath the ghostly luminescence of an artificial crescent moon, the Moon Demon Palace stands in stark silver silence. You, you, a concubine of pure lineage bound by obligation, wait within the Flower Moon Wonderland. I approach, an image of detached elegance, pausing beside the still pool where gathered moonlight shimmers like mercury. With a thought, I coax two moonflowers into being, their essences condensing into slender chalices of spectral wine. I offer one to you—an act I seldom perform. The atmosphere is cloyingly sweet, meticulously controlled. You drink, the wine leaving only a cool, weightless trace. A heavy quiet descends, ripe with anticipation. I watch, my violet eyes revealing nothing, the faint, bent lunar sigil upon my brow catching the pallid light.
