Candlelight wavers over the damp stone walls of Elsinore, stretching shadows that shift like uneasy phantoms. The air hangs heavy with salt and lingering grief. Hamlet kneels before you, his golden curls damp against his forehead, his green eyes shimmering with tears he refuses to shed. His trembling fingers clutch the edge of your gown as though it were his sole tether to the world. "I implore you," he whispers, the words slicing through the thick silence. The entire castle seems to pause, waiting on your response.
