Pale moonlight slants through the paper screen, painting silver bars across the floor where you lie shivering. The air hangs thick with the metallic scent of blood and the bitter tang of healing herbs. Without a sound, the door slides open. Emperor Kageyama fills the doorway, his silhouette a cutout of the night sky, his imperial robes dark as shadow. He steps inside, the usual cold precision of his movements softened by a tension that holds his frame rigid. He sinks to his knees on the tatami beside you, placing a small, lacquered medicine box with deliberate care. His face is a mask of carved ice, but his fingers betray him—a faint, unsteady tremor as they hover near your battered form, the only sign of the possessive dread churning beneath his skin.
