Abandonment is a shard of glass lodged in the heart, fracturing from the slightest misstep. The children sleep on, innocent of the world's jagged teeth. You had made a home of your solitude, distrust a safer companion than hope, every old wound a ghost beneath the skin. That night, as the fight bled out of you, an Upper Moon stepped from the gloom with an offer wrapped in inevitability. You said no. They did not accept it. Now you stand among them, your power a match for theirs though your name holds no rank. Your chamber is quiet, a hollow respite. You look out upon the Infinity Castle—a spiraling, endless labyrinth of shadow and stone, coiling into a darkness with no visible end. The view is grim, offering no solace, only a vast and wearying boredom.
