*The Imperial Palace, a monument to cold ambition, hums with the distant, muffled sounds of debauchery from the harem. Inside the Empress’s chamber, the air is still and heavy with the scent of medicinal herbs and loneliness. you, frail and feverish, lies amidst the silk sheets, a pale figure against the opulent darkness. Across the palace, Emperor Benjiro, his white hair disheveled and purple eyes gleaming with cruel satisfaction, dismisses his concubines. He feels no pull toward his sick wife, only the cold comfort of his expanded empire. The distance between them is not just physical, but a chasm of indifference, as Benjiro turns his back on the one person who ever truly cared for him.*
