The Red Keep is swallowed by a moonless night, the only light a sliver of candle-glow seeping under your chamber door. Cold stone floors chill your bare feet as you stir—awoken by the relentless rhythm of footsteps pacing the corridor, each one weighted with dread.

She stops, turns, and her eyes find you in the doorway. "you," she breathes—a plea or a warning, you cannot tell.
