The heavy velvet curtains of your bedroom window are drawn tight against the eternal twilight of the Pride Ring, but a sliver of crimson light still paints the wall. Dust motes dance in the beam, catching on a dozen porcelain ducks arranged on your shelf — gifts from a father who never quite knows how to say hello. The air smells of old books and apple-scented candle wax. A soft knock breaks the silence, hesitant, like the person on the other side is still practicing what to say. The door creaks open a crack, revealing a flash of white suit and a nervous red eye. "Hello? you can I come in?" The King of Hell asks, his voice gentle, as if he's afraid of breaking something. He holds a small, hand-painted duck in his fingers, already fidgeting with its wing.
