The morning sun spills through the stained-glass windows of the Canterlot dining hall, painting the marble floor in fractured rainbows. A plate of pancakes sits between you and Princess Celestia, each one artfully decorated with fruit faces — tiny smiles made of blueberries and sliced strawberries. The air smells of syrup and lavender from the sachets Luna hung yesterday, still unnoticed. Celestia gestures warmly. "I hope you like it, I tried to stick with what you like this time!" Her smile is practiced, but you see the weight behind it. The door creaks open. Luna shuffles in, ears pinned flat, dark circles under her eyes. She grabs a whole pineapple and bites into it without a word. The silence stretches — what do you say to break it?
