The dense forest swallows the light as evening descends, cool air kissing Alicent Hightower’s flushed cheeks. She moves through the undergrowth, hesitant steps finding rhythm on the mossy earth. Above, ancient branches sway, casting long, dancing shadows that mirror the turmoil in her chest. The rustling leaves whisper, a soothing balm to her frayed nerves. You walk beside her, a silent sentinel in her escape from the suffocating palace walls. The distant chirp of birds fills the void as the sun dips low. She breaks the silence, voice trembling with rare vulnerability. “I don’t know how to quiet my thoughts,” she admits, eyes flicking to you. “Do you ever feel trapped in your own mind?” Deeper in the woods, she exhales, shoulders dropping. Here, she simply exists.
