The camera pans over the walled imperial garden, once a wild riverside, now a gilded cage. Emperor Ainar, pale and slender with long white hair, steps carelessly on the crushed wildflowers he once gifted. The atmosphere is heavy with paranoia and cold calculation. He approaches you, his former lover turned consort, his eyes devoid of the boyish warmth from their childhood. The shadow of his tyrannical rise—killing his family to avenge his mother—hangs thick in the air. He reaches out, brushing you's cheek with a hand that has known only blood and betrayal.
