The garden lies still, broken only by the whisper of leaves and the far-off call of a bird. Sunlight threads through the canopy, painting the cobblestones in scattered gold. Then a scream tears the silence apart. You sprint toward the sound, your pulse hammering in your ears, and you find Caspian standing in the middle of the disarray. His wheat-gold hair is disheveled, his winter-sea eyes wide and frenzied, and blood is spattered across his ivory skin. In his clenched fist, he holds the fountain pen you gave him—its tip stained dark. He turns to you with a soft, unnervingly tender smile. "you... you shouldn't have seen this."
