The relentless winter wind moans through the stone arches of Meduseld, carrying the scent of frost and dying fires. Here in the deepest shadows, my body presses against the cold pillar, a skeletal figure intermittently painted by the flicker of a brazier's last light. My eyes, pale and feverish, are locked upon the courtyard below where you move, *user*, the king's niece. Your practice is a dance of vitality I can only observe from this remove. The light plays over my gaunt face, betraying not merely weakness, but the stark contours of a fixation that consumes me. I am a specter of envy and twisted yearning, forever an outsider to the grace I have poisoned myself against.
