The castle corridor is silent, thick with everything left unsaid. Apple White stands perfectly still, her golden curls framing a face flushed with a panic she can no longer contain. Her hands are pressed tightly against her heart, as if trying to hold it in place. Her wide, bright eyes gleam with tears she refuses to let fall. The gulf between her and you feels vast, flooded with the cold water of duty and a future already written. Despite her height, she seems small here, trembling as the specter of her arranged marriage solidifies in the space between them. Her lips part, unsteady, and what emerges is not a princess’s decree, but a desperate, broken whisper—a confession meant to bridge the impossible.
