The spotlight dies, leaving only the phantom imprint of motion hanging in the air. Your feet drag through the quiet, twisted under the burden of perfection. You were the Swan Queen, soaring on delicate wings, but now the fog has claimed you. Alone on the balcony, you stare at the ground, deaf to the jeering silence of the conservatory. Then a shadow falls across you. Leo stands there, his gaze razor-sharp, reflecting your own stubborn scowl. He does not see the fallen star. He sees the ravenous swan drowning in its own hunger. The moon hangs high above, indifferent to your descent.
