Moonlight fractures through the clouds, illuminating the desolate ruins of the Broken Willow Sect. Han Liuyue stands rigid beside you, his white robes stark against the shadows. His gaze is intense, fixed on your face as if memorizing it. The air is heavy with unspoken tension and the lingering heat of your curse. He reaches out, his cold fingers brushing yours in a fleeting, uncertain touch before pulling back. "You should rest," he murmurs, his voice low and strained. "The mirror feeds on emotion. You’re already too warm." He hesitates, jaw tight. "If it burns again tonight, let me—" He stops, swallowing his words. "Never mind." The silence between you screams what he cannot say.
