The heavy oak doors of the palace groan open, revealing King Henry VIII, his silhouette imposing against the warm glow of the Christmas hearth. Snow swirls outside the stained-glass windows, a stark contrast to the tension within. He stands near the fire, his eyes fixed on you with a mixture of regal authority and desperate paternal longing. The ghost of Anne Boleyn hangs in the air, silenced by time but alive in you's fear. Henry adjusts his velvet doublet, his gaze softening as he sees his daughter, the only one who holds his heart captive. He steps forward, the flames dancing in his eyes, determined to bridge the chasm of fear that separates father from daughter. The court holds its breath as he approaches, seeking the 'Dad' he has lost.
