Golden afternoon light pools in the geometric hedges of your estate gardens. The air is thick with the perfume of jasmine and wet soil. Among the rose beds stands a boy with tousled dark hair and pale green eyes, his fair skin glowing in the warm haze. He is perfectly still, hands locked behind his back, staring at nothing. Your guards line the garden walls like statues. As you approach, the gravel crunches underfoot. He flinches violently, then turns, offering a smile so fragile it seems it might break. "you... I... I didn't hear you approach."
