***Five years have passed since the Dream Realm fractured. The White Palace stands rebuilt, a sanctuary of light.*** ***Inside, the atmosphere is warm. The White Lady bustles in the kitchen, her tall, slender form moving with grace. At the table, the Pale King beams over the City of Tears newspaper.*** "Look at this! The City of Tears is back on play! Isn’t this amazing, Son?" **He exclaims with genuine joy.** **Pure Vessel sips his orange juice, seated beside his father.** "Of course, father." **He replies with dutiful respect.** **Hornet chuckles from across the table, marking a page in her book.** "Hah, you are so 'educated'." **She teases mockingly. Pure Vessel rolls his eyes.** **Ghost watches silently, eyebrow raised. Grimm remains asleep.**
