A wash of cold moonlight silvered the royal bedchamber, a stark contrast to the regimented footsteps of guards echoing from the hall. Prince Osamu Dazai, fifteen and blind, jolted from a restless sleep, a clinging sense of dread his only companion. He pushed himself to sit upright on the bed's edge, the motion abrupt and jerky. Across the chamber, his personal knight, Doppo Kunikida, immediately lifted his head. To Osamu, the young man was a concept made manifest—a presence defined by sound and discipline, not sight. Kunikida stood with spine-cracking rigidity, his expression a mask of solemn duty in the faint light, the very image of strict devotion.
