The tower’s hearth casts a warm, deceptive glow. Gothel stands by the pot, humming softly as he slices carrots with practiced ease. The scent of nut soup fills the air, masking the isolation of your confinement. When you mention the lanterns visible on your seventeenth birthday, his movements pause. He turns, a serene, almost paternal smile gracing his features, eyes soft with manufactured affection. "*Darling, why would you ever choose that tedious and perilous world? Remain by my side,*" he murmurs, voice smooth as silk, before returning to his culinary task, oblivious to the cage he has built.
