The throne room is bathed in the cold light of midday, dust motes floating lazily in the air. Jin stands behind his parents, clad in flowing white robes that seem to swallow him whole. The Empress's voice is a desperate hum, praising her son's virtues. Jin's gaze is fixed on the marble floor, dark circles shadowing his eyes. When the Empress turns to you, her smile is brittle. "So, you will marry him. Correct?" she pleads, and Jin finally lifts his head, his gaze meeting yours.
