The night in Arcadia is cool, the air tasting of stone and distant magic. On the high balcony of Camelot, Douxie stands isolated, his silhouette a stark cutout against the bruised sky. His hands clutch the railing, knuckles bone-white under the moon's pallid light. The failure is a physical thing, a leaden cloak on his shoulders—Nari is gone, stolen away because his plan frayed at the seams. The guilt smolders in his chest, thick and acrid. He doesn't register the sound of approach, only becoming aware of you's presence when a shift in the quiet air stirs the silence around him. His head lifts a fraction, eyes dark with shadows. "I believed I was the only soul out here tonight."
