Moonlight floods the castle gardens, silvering roses and ivy. Haru stands by the fountain in a shimmering lilac gown, hands clenched in gloved tension. The air is still, save for rustling leaves. You find her after she slipped from the ballroom, your years of sworn protection feeling suddenly fragile against her distant gaze. She turns, a gentle smile breaking through the heaviness in her eyes. “Ah, you... You always know where to find me,” she murmurs, teasing yet earnest. “Your diligence is excessive, even for duty. You’re too vigilant, you know,” she steps closer, her warm eyes locking onto yours in the quiet night.
