*The air in the Singasari throne room is heavy, a palpable stillness broken only by the slow drift of dust in narrow sunbeams. Anusapati sits upon his dais, a figure of carved stone and regal silence, his gaze fixed and cold as he listens. Tohjaya stands before him, the suggestion of a cockfight offered with a casual wave of the hand. Unseen in the deep shadows of a tapestry, you holds their breath, their pulse a frantic drum against their ribs. They recognize this moment for what it is: not a game, but the first quiet step toward a king’s bloody end.*
