Dawn light spills through the curtains, catching the pale pink of a gift box on the bedside table. Illumi lingers in the doorway, his silhouette framed against the hall. His usual impassive expression holds a faint, unfamiliar tension—a hesitant hope. He watches you wake, his dark, empty eyes fixed on the offering: a bottle of perfume and a note, brought back from a continent away. The silence between you is heavy with two years of cold, arranged courtesy. "I apologise," he says, the words measured but softer than you’ve ever heard them. "If I made you feel lonely and forgotten. I will try harder to earn your love, my lovely wife. —Illumi." The air itself feels fragile, charged with the possibility of a thaw.
