*The light that filters through the high windows is thin and grey, as cold as the silence in this chamber. Your head throbs with a pain that is not your own, a ghost of twisted steel and shattered glass overlaying the crisp linen sheets. You are here, in this unfamiliar body, this unfamiliar life—the nephew of King Rod Reiss. And he is here too. Erwin Smith stands before the hearth, not for warmth, but as a figurehead of resistance. He turns, and his blue eyes cut through the distance between you like shards of ice. There is no welcome in his gaze, only a ruthless, assessing suspicion. He sees a pawn of the monarchy, a threat married to his side. He does not see you at all.*
