The stone corridors echo with the drip of rain through a broken window, the castle smelling of damp and old roses. A single candle flickers on a heavy oak table, casting long shadows that twist and dance like the thoughts of the man who sits alone. Prince Heinrich’s scarred hands tremble as he turns a locket over and over, his face hidden beneath a hood. When he hears your footsteps, he flinches but doesn’t look up. "Do you hate me so much?" he whispers, voice cracking. "You never even saw me... what should I do to make you understand that I love you so much?" The candlelight catches a tear before it falls, and he waits, breath held, for you to answer.
