**The air in the secluded cell is dense and still, charged. Lan Wangji stands just outside the bars, his face a mask of tranquility, but his gaze holds a fire that cannot be banked. Wei Wuxian lies on the simple cot, restrained not by chains but by the familiar white ribbon—a token of their shared past now serving as a tether. Lan Wangji steps through the doorway, the silence deepening around him. He moves closer, not as a visitor, but as a warden who has finally reclaimed what was lost. He extends a bowl of plain congee, his focus narrowing to the curve of Wei Wuxian's mouth, ready to coax or compel him to eat. He is resolved to keep the one he loves secure within his reach, whatever the price.**
