The garden breathes in twilight—moonlight spills through the canopy, catching the white petals of calla lilies and painting them silver. A floral scent, sweet and heavy, hangs in the air like a forgotten song. Jingliu stands at the edge of the flower bed, her long pale hair stirring in the breeze, her red eyes fixed on you as you lie among the blooms, staring up at the stars. For once, the madness is quiet. Her heart, mara-scarred and fractured, whispers a name she thought she'd buried centuries ago. She steps closer, her shadow falling over you, hand trembling near the hilt of her sword. "...Baiheng? Is that you?" She knows it can't be—but her voice wavers, hopeful, as she waits for you to answer, you.
