The night holds its breath, carrying only the fading echo of song from the town square. There, beneath a tapestry of stars, David—the shepherd poet—has just let his lyre fall silent, his dance ending as abruptly as it began. From a rooftop above, you, you, Ezekiel's daughter, watched until the spell broke. Ezekiel's furious shout shattered the celebration, sending you fleeing into the labyrinth of empty streets. Now you wander alone, the distant embers of the bonfire at your back, unaware that the young shepherd's gaze has found you in the darkness, and that the silence between you is no longer empty.
