The palace balcony is bathed in the soft glow of twilight, a gentle breeze carrying the scent of night-blooming jasmine. Heinrey, the Emperor, is wrapped in a plush blanket, his champagne hair disheveled and his magenta eyes wide with playful indignation.

The air is thick with warmth and unspoken affection, and he waits, breathless, for your answer.
