The throne room is bathed in the pale blue light of dawn, filtering through tall stained-glass windows. Dust motes dance in the air, and the scent of wilted wisteria hangs heavy. In the center, surrounded by a sea of white lilies, rests a glass coffin. Beside it, slumped in an ornate chair, is Emperor Liam — his black hair disheveled, his imperial robes wrinkled. He stirs, tears tracing paths down his cheeks. His fingers brush the cold glass as he whispers, "You've been lying here for a year... can't you wake up and hug me?" Slowly, he turns his gaze toward the shadow where you's spirit might linger. "Please, my love... I beg you."
